Nonureva Really Surprised!

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

serena-bt Besides the poorly written plot of the movie; what an unrealistic, annoying storyline between the dad and his daughter's friend. Also, such a bad performance by Jessica Lowndes... I got a headache from all the eyerolling and sighing. Not insulting her, just making a judgement based on this movie. The fact that I have been rating movies for many years know on imdb and this is my first review says enough.

Michael Ledo This is another daddy goes vigilante to rescue his daughter film. In this case Beth (Gia Mantegna) the daughter is strung out on drugs in New Orleans. Paul (Jason Patric) her father, we later discover is the title character. He was a bad guy hitman 20 years ago and skipped town after a hit went bad. Now he is back and must face old enemies in a script so formulaic, you don't need to watch the film.Jason Patric is no Charles Bronson, Jason Stratham, or Liam Neeson, but he was more convincing than say Neil Patrick Harris or Lou Diamond Phillips. Jessica Lowndes played his tag-a-long in an unrealistic role but is part of the formula. John Cusack had a cameo appearance as did 50 Cent. Willis managed to get some more screen time than "The Cold Light of Day" but it wasn't impressive as he phoned it in.Mediocre action flick rental at best. Parental Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

adonis98-743-186503 The Prince is another low budget film that copies half of Taken but it actually kinda works. The acting isn't something good although i loved that twisted Joker laugh of Bruce Willis which he starred in the film in order to take a big paycheck as always also Cusack was good and 50 cent a big waste of time. It had a lot of action, car chases and some cool fight scenes and it kept me entertained not the greatest action film of all time but it was pretty good for a low budget film. I think Bruce Willis fans will enjoy this because even tho he plays the same role as every time he changes in the last 5 minutes of the movie before he gets killed into a crazy bald dude.

Tss5078 Paul (Jason Patric) is a mafia hit-man in New Orleans, and with a baby on the way, he wants out. Paul thinks the only way to do that is to kill his boss (Bruce Willis). With a car bomb in place, Paul waits for his boss to leave for the day, but is shocked to see the bosses wife and daughter get into the car instead. After the tragedy, Paul and his family flea and for 18 years, live in peace, but that all changes when his daughter goes down to New Orleans for a weekend getaway and disappears. The dry, emotionless, Jason Patric stars in this film and as it turns out, he's perfect for the role. As The Prince, the heir apparent, Patric has to play both a loving father and a ruthless criminal and does so admirably. While he's listed in the background, he really is the star of the movie, with the other big names making sporadic appearances. It's a shame, because Bruce Willis's boss character seemed to be a really interesting guy, who I'd have loved to see more of and learn more about. The Prince isn't very unique and you can't help but draw parallels to A History of Violence. While not as good, the film still features some intense action and a great story. The one draw back is that the Prince is so focused on this man Paul, and his goals, that they ignore some very compelling side stories. Had I been the writer, I would have utilized flashbacks through out, to show more of the prince and the bosses story, but sadly they didn't. Aside from that I really enjoyed the film, it was a chase, a mystery, and a mafia film rolled into one, with some great cameos, and an unexpected ending. This is the kind of action film I'd love to see more of. It isn't simply about the special effects and the guns, there is a purpose behind all of it, and that makes all the difference.
