Milla Jovovich shines in Protector, an action-packed thriller directed by Adrian Grünberg and written by Bong-Seob Mun. Jovovich fully demonstrates her renowned action skills, delivering a performance that action fans will appreciate. Though her dynamic presence makes the action memorable, the story recalls the familiar territory of past action scripts and sequels. Still, Protector offers a fresh take by focusing on a military veteran protagonist, making it engaging for those who enjoy stories about veterans excelling under pressure. Nikki’s return home to raise her teenage daughter, Chloe, leads her into unexpected danger, but nothing will keep her from reaching Chloe (Isabel Myers).
After her daughter Chloe is kidnapped by a human trafficking ring, veteran war hero Nikki (Milla Jovovich) is forced back into a dangerous world. Using her military skills, Nikki battles the crime syndicate and becomes a target in the process as she races to save her daughter.
