Protégé (DVD)











Genius Products adds another gripping film to the Dragon Dynasty Label. Get ready for Protégé, a thriller that takes you to the underbelly of the drug trafficking world. In Protégé, a young cop gets tested in ways he never imagined when he goes undercover to bring down a secret drug ring. The deeper he gets, the more he’s torn inside as he sees the world of both sellers and junkies. He becomes close to the top hustlers and develops a relationship a neighbor that’s a single mom, and a junkie. Apart from being an action/thriller, some parts of it felt like a classroom lesson in how the drug lords move their products. I think they could have cut down a bit on the scenes where they explained in lengthy detail how they run their operations. But for the most part, Protégé was very effective in the way it showed the dark and dangerous drug world. The acting was convincing and the story didn’t drag on too long. It’s not the best one out of the Dragon Dynasty Label, but it was an intense film that I found to be very entertaining.
