The Prince (I) (2014)
6/10
Fun Movie
22 August 2014
I just saw this, but the only reason I decided to was because Bruce Willis was in it. Just so you all know, Willis is barely in it, so don't expect a movie saturated with his presence. I have to say that I'm glad I watched it. It wasn't a great movie, but it was fun. It clocks in at right about 90 mins, so it's not one of those movies that drags out every scene trying to get to epic length of 2.5 hours, though it probably could have had about 10 minutes cut. Jessica Lowndes is beautiful, as is Gia Montegna, so the eye candy was good. Plus, they were pretty good actresses, so I hope to see a lot of them in the future. Jason Patric was good in the lead. If you're looking for a fun, suspenseful movie, you should give this a viewing.

I do have to say Willis' right-hand man, played by Rain (AKA: Jung Ji-Hoon), was miscast. He was not imposing at all. He looked like a 19-yr old college student, and the fight between him and Jason Patric was more like something Patric had with the several cronies he fought throughout the movie. Jet Li would have been better in that role, but more expensive, too. The final scene between Patric and Willis was even less inspiring. Overall though, I found it fun to watch. As I said, it wasn't great, but it was entertaining.

And no, this is not a review written by a member of the film making team or of the studio. I design websites, lol. Hey, it pays the bills. But yeah, I hate when film makers get on here and give high rated reviews, which tend to be worthless. I gave this a 6 out of 10 stars, but I think it deserved more like 6.5. Anyway, watch and judge it for yourself.
