An action-packed slog

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

If I had the chance to chose again I wouldn't go for this movie again. There are way better action movies than The Prince. The story is just déjà-vu, done before and way better. Don't think because you have some names like Bruce Willis and John Cusak that it will be a good movie. In fact Bruce Willis has his fair share of bad movies in his career and this is one of them. He isn't the main character though. The main character is Jason Patric, and his acting skills in The Prince are lame. Just like the story. If you like stories where a guy armed with a pistol takes on dozens of heavily weaponed crooks and manage to avoid multiple machine-gun shots while he manages to kill everybody with one single shot than this movie might be for you. Personally I have problems with that kind of unrealistic scenes. I feel like a fool when I watch that kind of action. Just pass on this movie, you'll save some precious time of your life.

The Prince (2014)Ha! A joke. The main character is played by a Bruce Willis wannabe, Jason Patric, and he's decent, barely
but Willis isn't just decent, he's compelling. Still, this movie could have been decent. Barely. But the writing (and direction, overall) are horrid. I mean so unbelievable and amateurish you have to laugh.This is a tough guy movie—Patric plays a guy who is just a nice (handsome) old car mechanic with a cute daughter away in the big city, but he has a past as a super fighter, great with guns and wits. But the writer has him enter a bar and say absurd tough guy things, and then the people around the bar say absurd things back, either tough stuff, too, or just whiny mean stuff. It makes no sense.Of course, you do wish he could save his daughter. And guess what, he does! And kills a lot of people along the way, generally bullet proof in the process. Oh, and his daughter's teenage girlfriend has the hots for him. Etc.Wait, I'm not done! The movie shows Bruce Willis himself as a character! Yup, and he's pretty good, working with a lousy script. John Cusak shows up, too, and is almost pretty good, also with a lousy script. Don't be fooled. This is Patric's movie, and he is at a loss in the mess.

Straight-forward shoot 'em up thriller with few surprises. Soon after a call with his daughter, the car mechanic (and retired super-assassin), Jason Patric discovers his daughter has vanished. Thus, Jason buys a flight ticket and travels to the city of her college after which follows a hunt for the villain/s that took his daughter.While the storyline and acting in general was passable, the unknown star Jason Patric did a great job as the charismatic lead character. Somewhat uninspired acting by both John Cusack and Bruce Willis.The shooting scene in the lobby near the end was straight out of the Matrix, aside from the fact it was slightly less realistic.An altogether decent thriller with a storyline that's not disturbingly stupid.

Started out minorly promising but my intrigue waned pretty quickly. This felt like a second rate TV drama the way it was shot and I am only able to conclude that the script may have been bearable with better directing. I think this could have been passable if it wasn't for how it was shot. I cared about the characters about as much as I care for a herbal tea and it saddens me to see the fall of some actors I enjoyed watching in the late 80's being involved in such a second rate cobbled up film as this. It was clear that Bruce Willis did his best and was left high and dry with what happened out of his control. I expect he cringed a little if he watched this later or just laughed as he counted the dollars. I have not watched Sharknado because I imagine it's terrible but frankly I am guessing it's probably more entertaining!
