The Protégé - 2021 - 6/10
Moody and Anna are a hit team. Assassins. Except they only murder bad people.
Please. Really?
After a death – payback – Anna targets the top man responsible, and his cartel of henchmen.
Samuel Jackson as Moody is fine, the action sequences are crisp and well done.
Dialogue is a treat, especially between Maggie Q and Michael Keaton.
Keaton, by the way, has a marvelous role as the sardonic right hand.
The narrative, the script itself, is an empty-headed muddle.
There is no “there” to the last two acts. No reasons, no denouement.
