The Protégé Ratings & Reviews
Mediaversity Reviews
Roxana Hadadi
The Protégé presents itself as a racially diverse film, and in broad strokes, that holds up.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Like Frankenheimer and Forbes before him, Campbell knows what he's doing. The Protégé may not be the director's finest hour, but that doesn't make what he's cooked up any less enjoyable.
Fox 10 Phoenix
Allison Shoemaker
Oscar bait, it ain't - but it's a damn good time.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
For all the predictability of the film's story, the template is there for something emotionally engaging. Unfortunately, promising subplots are left unpursued, while character notes hang pointlessly in the air.
AARP Movies for Grownups
Thelma Adams
The hard-core action laced with humor and heart proves that the athletic Maggie Q merits more leading roles -- and a prequel with Jackson would be a ton of kick-ass.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
A sporadically stylish, mildly unpredictable and thoroughly violent thriller where the principals seemingly endure at least as much punishment as they dish out.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Part bloodbath, part sex comedy, totally botched.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The film is polished and watchable, with a satisfying third-act twist that nicely upends much of what has come before it.
Variety
Peter Debruge
There's precious little in "The Protégé" that audiences haven't seen before in some form or another, but that's hardly a liability, since the script recombines those familiar elements in such entertaining ways...
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
It's a straightforward genre picture, directed with the trademark sleek clarity of Martin Campbell.
Los Angeles Times
Tracy Brown
There's a palpable confidence in the movie's action sequences and slick choreography that helps keep it engaging enough despite the holes in its storytelling.
RogerEbert.com
Christy Lemire
[A] capable but ultimately forgettable late-summer action-thriller.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
The pleasure of such company isn't enough to compensate for watching a succession of scenes that are like recruitment ads for abattoir work.
TheWrap
Todd Gilchrist
Ultimately, Campbell's film fails because it can't decide whether to be cheeky escapism or a thoughtful character study, instead landing in between with something repetitive and too often a little dull.
Associated Press
Mark Kennedy
So many cliches abound. Do all baddies have to drive shiny black Range Rovers and wear thick gold necklaces over their turtlenecks?
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
We've seen it all before, often done with more style, a better brand of dark humor and smarter plots.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
"The Protégé" has so many cool elements, so many reasons that it should be better than it is. Chief among them are Maggie Q, Keaton and Jackson. But they can only do so much, and ultimately the film feels flat.
Entertainment Weekly
Mary Sollosi
Some of Q's action sequences - she did most of her own stunts, despite a recent spine surgery - are a genuine thrill, but they lose their power as the movie gets bogged down in murky plot.
The Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Tries so hard to make you think it's smart that its dumbness is impossible to forgive.
New York Post
Johnny Oleksinski
The film's bright spot is Q, who has really become a capable, confident, sexy action star. I can't wait to see her in another action movie that is not this one.
