The Prince (I) (2014)
6/10
Actually entertaining and enjoyable...
23 January 2022
I stumbled upon the 2014 action thriller "The Prince" from writers Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore here in 2022 by sheer, random chance. And with it being a Bruce Willis movie, then of course I wanted to watch it. But truth be told, I wasn't harboring much of any expectations to the movie, as Bruce Willis haven't really been churning out top notch movies for a long, long time.

Yet, I opted to watch director Brian A. Miller's movie on the account that this was a movie that I hadn't already seen, and also because it had both Bruce Willis and John Cusack on the cast list. I wasn't familiar with lead actor Jason Patric, however.

I will say that "The Prince" was actually a watchable and enjoyable enough action thriller for what it was. It wasn't a groundbreaking action thriller, nor did writers Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore really bring anything new to the genre. But the movie was actually still enjoyable enough.

There was a good amount of action in the movie, and that definitely helped to keep "The Prince" afloat and keep it watchable and enjoyable. I liked the action, and found it to be nicely choreographed.

Aside from Jason Patric, Bruce Willis and John Cusack, then "The Prince" also had the likes of Johnathon Schaech, Jessica Lowndes and Don Harvey on the cast list. Personally I can't claim to have found any particular thrill or excitement in the fact that Rain and 50 Cent were in the movie.

If you enjoy action thrillers of the good old kind, then give "The Prince" a chance, should you have the opportunity. I definitely thoroughly enjoyed it. However, "The Prince" is a type of movie that you watch once and never pick it up again, as there just isn't sufficient contents to the storyline and script to support more than a single viewing.

My rating of "The Prince" lands on a six out of ten stars.
