Hong Kong legend Andy Lau (House of Flying Daggers) and Daniel Wu (Legend of the Black Scorpion) star in this stunningly gritty and intense thriller. Inspired by an incredible true story and nominated for 9 Hong Kong Film Awards, including Best Picture and Best Action Choreography, Protege is the saga of a young cop infiltrating the deepest levels of a secret drug ring. He survives seven years of violent, nail-biting close calls, as he works his way from dealer to heir apparent. Every step consolidates his power and reveals another piece of his boss’s operations, bringing him closer to destroying a brutal empire…or inheriting it.

I am pretty sure this is going to be a good movie!

Daniel Wu is a very good actor from what I have seen from the Jackie Chan movies he has been in so I think this will be a cool movie to watch. Not only will it be cool because of Daniel Wu but also because Louis Koo and Andy Lau star in it as well. These three actors are going to make this movie excitement even more exciting.

A very well told drug drama

Director Derek Yee provides a very good atmosphere with a well told story. Leads Andy Lau, Daniel Wu and Zhang Jingchu are excellent as ever. This film makes me look forward to Jackie Chan's Shinjuku Incident also by Derek Yee.

Good Flick

Really engrossing, Wu and Lau are excellent, I never thought I'd learn so much about how drugs are made and sold, plus there's a must-see action sequence in the middle where things get, um, out of "hand."

Protege is excellent. That is the sadest most emotional hk flick i ever seen

Daniel Wu is the official new guy his acting is so mastered. Andy Lau and Louis Koo both deliver performances that are way different than there usual roles. I like the cameo by Derek Yee as well. Now i gotta listen to the commentary. c ya l8r
