The Protector is the nuttiest movie I've seen all year, and I've seen the last 20 minutes of "The Wicker Man."

Delivers a steady stream of cheap B-movie thrills, plus two positive messages for young people: Be nice to animals, and when in doubt, always aim for the tendons.

Best fight movie ever! The amount of enemies that Tony defeats with several incredible moves is very little explored in Hollywood movies

Cara, este é o melhor filme de luta da minha vida, jamais haverá um lutador melhor que Tony Jaa. diferente de muitos filmes, toda a ação dele tem um propósito uma razão forte e real para lutar. Não existe atualmete nehum utador mais completo que Tony

The movie is a series of ever more elaborate fight sequences and increasingly more and larger opponents.

In truth, only hard-core martial-arts fans will be able to keep from squirming in their seats with boredom through at least some parts of this 82-minute kablammo-fest.

A relentless focus on action over character and story will leave more mainstream viewers cold.

Anytime Jaa isn't on screen, The Protector sputters.

This ludicrous Quentin Tarantino-chosen low-budget movie features choppy editing and an amateurish script, and it switches strangely back and forth between dubbing and subtitles.

From first episode to the last, the Protector, serves its audience a bundle of outdated cliches kept together loosely with a boring and slow paced story. Directing seems to have been done by a team of film students, all of whom wanted to copy their favorite superhero scene. The only redeeming aspects are Okan Yalabik's performance and the soundtrack (at times). 1005 of the remaining 1048 IMDB voters are NON-US,which definitely tells us this show is mostly liked by the Turks...I understand the excitement of Turkish viewers and the high ratings coming from them, but i'm warning you if your time is valuable skip this one.
What Netflix was thinking while shooting this disaster is beyond me. Even Iron Fist looks like freakin The Lord of The Rings compared to this
