If you have seen this movie on Netflix but passed over it a hundred times, you wouldn't be the only one. I passed it up for a good two weeks before giving it a shot, and was pleasantly surprised at this hidden gem. I like to dissect movies like this that have flown under the radar. Lets start with the poster, two of the three actors on it are in this film for about 7 minutes each. Which actors? Here is a hint, they are the A listers. Next what is a Prince? "A male royal ruler, most commonly the son of a King or Emperor". What does this have to do with the movie? Not a damn thing. You can analyze it all you want, but come on, it was a last minute decision on the writers part. Well, with low expectations going in, it turns out that I really liked this movie! It was underrated from the start and the build up of the main character is really good. Jason Patrick transforms from a nerdy, boring auto mechanic, to a complete bad ass, killing machine. His daughter and her friends are idiots, and the perfect example of how college girls act and think anymore. This was kind of a Taken rip off, but in many ways more watchable story. Give this one a shot, and if you have a daughter, keep her out of New Orleans.
FYI: 50 Cent makes an appearance, and this is the third film he is in with Bruce Willis.
