Rescued as a child by the legendary assassin Moody and trained in the family business, Anna is the world’s most skilled contract killer. When Moody, the man who was like a father to her and taught her everything she needs to know about trust and survival, is brutally killed, Anna vows revenge. As she becomes entangled with an enigmatic killer whose attraction to her goes way beyond cat and mouse, their confrontation turns deadly and the loose ends of a life spent killing will weave themselves ever tighter.

Biggest Swing

Sharp decline from the action-praised bookstore shootout to the widely criticized villain reveal and confusing ending

The Protégé starts promisingly with solid action sequences and strong performances from its three leads, particularly in the opening act and key set pieces. However, the film suffers from an increasingly nonsensical plot that peaks with a poorly received twist reveal and an ending that left most critics baffled and frustrated.
