But it does deliver a similar story in terms of tone and action. That is how you promote representation in cinema in movies that twenty years ago would’ve been filled with predominantly white characters.Īs I was watching this, I kept thinking of Die Hard. The film isn’t saying “look at our diverse cast.” No, it is saying “look at our outstanding characters” that happen to look like the people you and I interact with on a weekly basis. Furthermore, it boasts a diverse cast that is also never made into the center piece. It never sacrifices thrilling storytelling for an agenda.
PROTEGE CAST 2021 MOVIE
It saddens me to see that the review embargo for The Protege was until the early screenings on Thursday, because this is a movie that needs to be seen on the BIG SCREEN! While there is some thoughtful social commentary on strong, leading women that can still be incredibly sexy (on that note: Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman has been proving that since 1992), non-traditional families (otherwise known as found families), and toxic parenting, this movie never forgets that it is an entertainment piece that can be both exciting and thoughtful. Crafting moments that are strategically used for emotional resets (even brief ones) allows the filmmaker to keep the audience engaged without ever feeling bored or exhausted. Never once does this movie falter in taking its high concept seriously, but it knows when to interject comedic lines and kills that help to break up the more violent elements in order to help the senses reset. Where these characters stand out compared to comparable ones in contemporary action movies is remembering that these same strong characters also need to be vulnerable, relatable, and appropriately funny. But when you have Samuel L and Michael Keaton, both known for their action and comedic chops, you know you’re guaranteed to be highly entertained! Rounding out the lead cast is Maggie Q, and she is a force to be reckoned with as a ruthless assassin that is also a delight to watch as she kicks ass. Even with its 2hr runtime, you will never feel restless or bored because the pacing and plotting are both on point! Audiences will be delighted at the ideal balance in both violence and humor. The dialogue snaps, crackles, and pops, and there is plenty of humor to break up the darker elements of the film. Where so many action movies suffer is in the screenwriting.
As Anna becomes entangled with an enigmatic killer, their confrontation turns deadly, and the loose ends of a life spent killing weave themselves ever tighter.
However, when Moody is brutally killed, she vows revenge for the man who taught her everything she knows. Rescued as a child by the legendary assassin Moody, Anna is the world’s most skilled contract killer. This movie is the whole package: high flying action, killer fight sequences with outstanding choreography, and a well-developed lead cast that you will love to see on screen. The Protégé takes the action plot of a 1980s action movie and combines it with contemporary characters to deliver a movie that is simultaneously both familiar and fresh. From beginning to end, you will be glued to your seat as the story unfolds. THE most summer movie of 2021!Įverything about this explosive action thriller works brilliantly, and it truly is the don’t miss movie of the summer. Nonstop action, perfectly punctuated with humor and thrills! Don’t miss The Protege as it blasts its way into cinemas this week from the director that brought us Casino Royale.
