Amazon will unleash Martin Campbell’s thriller The Protégé this December.

The thriller, starring Maggie Q, Samuel L Jackson and Michael Keaton, has been acquired by Amazon Prime Video from Lionsgate for exclusive release in the UK.

It follows Anna (Maggie Q) the world’s most skilled contract killer, who was rescued as a child by the legendary assassin Moody and trained in the family business. When Moody (Samuel L Jackson), the man who was like a father to her and taught her everything she needs to know about trust and survival, is brutally killed, Anna vows revenge. As she becomes entangled with an enigmatic killer (Michael Keaton) whose attraction to her goes way beyond cat and mouse, their confrontation turns deadly and the loose ends of a life spent killing will weave themselves ever tighter.

See the end result on 31st December when the film premieres on Amazon Prime Video. Here’s a trailer:
