Critics Sentiment
Nikki battles syndicate leaders to rescue Chloe
Nikki infiltrates syndicate compound in poorly lit sequences
The film drops significantly during the dark, hard-to-follow infiltration sequences before surging back up for the satisfying final confrontation.
Protector starts with a solid kidnapping premise that energizes into well-received action sequences showcasing Jovovich's credible performance. The film stumbles through poorly executed subplots and visibility issues in the third act before recovering with a satisfying but divisive conclusion. Critics consistently praised the action and Jovovich's commitment while criticizing the generic writing and technical shortcomings.
