In the film Protector, Nikki (Milla Jovovich), a decorated former soldier, has tried to leave combat behind and build a quiet life with her teenage daughter Chloe (Isabel Myers), but their fragile peace is fractured when Chloe is abducted by a human trafficking ring. As Nikki follows the limited clues she has into the city’s criminal underworld, she leaves death in her wake. Her ruthless methods and military training bring her into conflict with both the traffickers and law enforcement, drawing the attention of a determined police chief, Captain Miller (D.B. Sweeney), who puts her at the top of his wanted list as she races against time to find her child while avoiding the local police.

Recently, Sweeney spoke with SciFi Vision about working on the film, including how the biggest draw was to work with Matthew Modine again, how he preps for his roles, and more.
