Movie Preview: Milla and her Stunt Team are back in Action — “Protector”

I first interviewed Milla Jovovich way back at the beginning of her career, that “Return to the Blue Lagoon” exploitation picture.

She was 16 when she made that, a model and reasonably self-possessed, an elementary school drop out who picked up languages easily and who studied acting from childhood.

She married a notorious “likes’em awfully young” French filmmaker and filmed “The Messenger,” as St. Joan of Arc, with him.

A steady paycheck in action pictures followed her divorce as she made “Resident Evil” movies until the cows came home.

This looks like another Milla Mows them Down thriller, made for an off-brand distributor, with Matthew Modine as her ex-commnading officer, the one who gets to use the AI generated lines “You have no idea who you’re dealing with” and “She’s a force of nature.”
