Moviegoers are saying
Milla Jovovich storms into this B-movie revenge thriller 'like a caffeinated thundercloud,' delivering unintentionally hilarious action sequences that reviewers describe as 'otherworldly oddity' material. While audiences praise Jovovich's committed performance and the campy action scenes, they're baffled by atrocious dialogue, a jaw-dropping twist that 'defies logic and the Geneva Convention of Good Taste,' and production values so poor that Matthew Modine apparently 'forgot how to speak English.'

"Physically, she was recoveried. But mentally?" Movie so bad it made Matthew Modine forget how to speak English Every time they said "whorehouse" it took me out Does she think that adding diet coke to coffee gives it more caffeine or something?? Like she clearly had a…

SuperPiecesMar 5, 2026The filmmaking is painfully bad in places, the plot is ridiculous while simultaneously self-serious, the acting over the top and cheesy, the score sounds like it was lifted from a cable movie from the ‘90s, the editing is incomprehensible, and the make-up used for the…

Milla Jovovich entering her senior citizen Liam Neeson era, I’ll take 1 of these a year, thanks! Hopefully they get more money next time and it’s not as DTV-esque but whatever man, the action scenes pop and the rest does not
Brett ArnoldMar 9, 2026I’ll say this movie almost hits on all the perfect notes Friday material. Then the ending happened and I was like yikes. Sound of freedom part 2. I did love the action because it was super campy and hilarious. Very dumb fun. Also I kinda enjoyed the score to this one. It…
🏳️⚧️💕Belle Forger💕🏳️⚧️Mar 8, 2026This flick was directed by Adrian Grunberg, doesn’t quite have the slick, ice-cold massive efficiency of one of those classic Liam Neeson vengeance vehicles...remember "Taken"...but it does have Milla Jovovich, who storms into the movie like a caffeinated thundercloud and…
Wingnut - Mar 9, 2026
An otherworldly oddity, something akin to the b-movie, DTV trash of the 80’s and 90’s (think Hard Rock Zombies, for example) — easily one of the funniest (unintentionally so) films of the year
TommyLeeMcGeeFeb 27, 2026Protector has some decent action, and a game performance from Milla Jovovich, but its about as formulaic, derivative, and forgettable as action thrillers get. It's fast-paced and thankfully has a lot of action with a nice variety of fights, car chases, and shootouts, but…

It’s both more and less than “Taken: Mom Edition,” another boneheaded poking of conservative’s self-inflicted wounds around human trafficking with a title just as deluded as its content.

While it has a mix of fresh and familiar concepts, Protector ultimately still feels too routine to stand out from the crowd.

Either the twist needed to come earlier, or the filmmakers needed to do a better job of making sure it provided enough of a jolt to make the previous, largely generic 85 minutes worth the effort. As it stands, Protector's twist ending feels adrift in a movie that's not compelling enough to support it.
