Remember when Bruce Willis headlining a movie was a sign of quality? Sure Red and Red 2 have their charms, but it seems the years haven’t been kind. The more and more I see of him, the more he seems tuned out in every film he’s in. I’m sure he might be tired of the action genre (and thus shows his fatigue in his performances), but he also doesn’t shy away from them either. Which is why the first trailer for his latest film, The Prince is mindboggling.
The Prince stars not Bruce Willis, but Jason Patric as a 40/50 something year old man who fights to take back his daughter after she’s been kidnapped by a crime lord (Bruce Willis). So it’s basically a less fun, low budget version of Taken (featuring 50 Cent for some reason). If it were releasing to something other than Video On Demand, I’d be more inclined to criticize, but I’ll let the trailer speak for itself.
Bruce Willis needs a paycheck when The Prince releases on VOD (and limited theaters) August 22nd.
