Read Anton Bitel's film review of Protégé

The main extra here is a thin 'Making Of' featurette, which devotes much more time to sermonising about the 'evil' of illegal drugs than elucidating about the production. What it does do is reinforce any suspicions that the film employs heavy-handed moral statements and stereotypes.

We are assured, though, that the cast conducted thorough research into real heroin addicts: "Turns out they don't always sniffle or yawn. They're not necessarily skinny either. In fact some junkies are quite fat. We wanted to get the facts straight," reports actor Louis Koo. Thank goodness for that
