The action thriller The Protégé, which came out in 2021, will be available to stream for free starting November 1, 2025. Here’s a quick look at what the movie is about…
Anna was taken in as a child by Moody, a famous assassin, and raised to follow in his footsteps, becoming a highly skilled contract killer herself. When Moody is murdered, Anna seeks revenge. Her quest leads her into a dangerous connection with a mysterious killer who seems strangely drawn to her, and their conflict escalates into a deadly game where the secrets of Anna’s past threaten to consume her.
“Maggie Q Shines in This Slick Action Thriller”
Lionsgate
Critics gave The Protégé mixed reviews, with a score of 64% on Rotten Tomatoes. However, MovieWeb’s Julian Roman praised director Martin Campbell’s ability to create exciting action sequences and believed that both the cast and director elevated what was essentially a low-budget movie plot.
Despite a fairly standard, low-budget plot, strong performances and good direction elevate “The Protégé.” The story centers on an orphaned girl trained by a seasoned assassin, who becomes a father figure and mentor to her, teaching her deadly skills. While filled with intense action, the movie occasionally slips into silliness with unbelievable romantic moments and overly complicated plot turns.
Despite mixed critical reception, audiences generally enjoyed The Protégé as a straightforward action thriller. Many praised Maggie Q’s performance, highlighting her ability to deliver both emotional nuance and impressive fight scenes. One Rotten Tomatoes user noted she “shines” and that her action choreography was particularly well-done, feeling realistic and impactful. Another viewer simply said they “loved it” and were kept engaged by unexpected twists.
