Nearly everyone we meet in “The Protégé” is on the brink of retirement, all but one or two of them nudged violently in that direction by’s title character. Anna specializes in finding things “that don’t want to be found” , but her true gift seems to be in disposing of them once they’ve been located, which Q handily demonstrates in the operation that opens the movie, one that ends with a hard-to-reach Russian crime boss floating face down in his private pool.
The movie wants us to believe that Anna acquired such skills from Moody, whose multimillion-dollar home has been financed by those aforementioned finding-and-disposing gigs. He claims never to have killed someone who didn’t deserve it, which means their consciences are clean — how fortunate for them — whereas their latest target is the other kind of killer, whose expensive, heavily protected compound was paid for by crimes too dastardly to trouble audiences with.
From “Alias” to “Atomic Blonde,” it’s a proven formula when the casting is right, and Q makes practically anything that’s asked of her look easy — whether it’s diving for cover as henchmen reduce her rare book store to confetti or jumping off a third-story balcony and riding the emergency fire hose all the way to ground level.
