Amateur movie with Big budget
A different way of telling a story
What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
View MoreJust intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
View MoreHow does a movie like this ever get released? The poor actors!! I am a huge John Cusack fan and I hurt for him to actually have to face appearing in such a badly done film like this. The writing was terrible along with the directing -- much of the acting, mainly by the supporting cast, was lousy - but the thing could have at the very least been improved by being edited properly! They had no clue!! I find it so sad when they go to all the effort to make a movie and don't have a warm clue what should end up on the cutting room floor. I wish they had a rating of ZERO because that's what it would get. We only kept watching because we hoped it would get better but instead it just got worse and we had to laugh at it - as mentioned, at the same time almost physically hurting for the actors. Not a B movie. A 'C' movie.
View MoreThe 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.
View MoreStraight-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.
View MoreThis movie doesn't worth you attention. Im pretty sure that if this movie would have came out in the late 90's it would have been a blast - it has pretty actress , it has badass hero , shooting and noble cause , the problem is that we are not in the 90's and this movie is a big fat pile of cliché . Not only that its bad , than its almost identical to the movie Taken with Liam Neeson . I do hope that one day Bruce Willis will say that this movie was made as a joke and some kind of parody to Action movies but i think this day will be come not so soon. Speaking of Willis , i don't get it why 2/3 of his latest movie are so shitty please get yourself together you are a brilliant actor. I really like watching these low rated movies myself because sometimes IMDb is wrong , but this is not the case. Ther movie is so bad that it should be locked in some kind of a Pandora box or something.
