There is a lot in Prince that could have worked much better. The plot
of course is pure science fiction. And this isn't a bad thing. Actually
it had the potential to make Prince into a well made thriller. Only
somehow the writers couldn't get past the clichés you have seen over
and over again in other similar movies. I have no problems with style
over substance. But this movie has too much of the wrong style with no
substance at all. Too much flash can ruin scenes and Prince is a good
example of how not to do it. The biggest problem however I had were the
badly executed action scenes. When a plot doesn't hold up there has to
be something else to elevate a production. Whether it is comedy or
action. (I am not mentioning drama and it should be obvious why). Since
every actor took this movie way too serious there was no chance of
genuine laughs whatsoever). So we are left with action. Oh my god the
action. And I don't mind ridiculous stunts like the one with the
motorcycle on the walking bridge. As long as it looks good. Say what
you want about the stunts in James Bond movies. They were always over
the top but still impressed the viewer since it looked believable. And
this is not the case in any action scene of Prince. Most of it looked
fake. So what is left there too enjoy. Well, there were these beautiful
women. But they only can hold your interest for so long.
