Lately, it seems like the legendary Bruce Willis just can’t be arsed. More often than not he’s phoning performances in, while his promotional work is even more embarrassing. Fingers crossed the strong supporting cast being assembled for THE PRINCE sees the DIE HARD actor inspired to bring his best for actor/writer/director Brian A. Miller with him playing the chief villain.
Well, I say “strong” but it does include Curtis “50 Pence” Jackson. However, the rapper (or crapper as I like to call them) recently turned in decent performances in THE FROZEN GROUND and ESCAPE PLAN. In addition, they’ll be joined by fellow FROZEN GROUND stars John Cusack, Gia Mantegna as well as Jason Patric (SLEEPERS), Johnathon Schaech (Ray Donovan) and international pop-star-turned-actor Rain (SPEED RACER).
THE PRINCE has a focus on a family man (played by Patric) whose secret past as a high-level Las Vegas mob enforcer is exposed when his daughter is kidnapped. He’s forced him to return to Sin City to find her and seek revenge. Patric is an actor I’ve always liked and whose career took a hit after the awful SPEED 2. He’s given terrific performances in the likes of THE LOST BOYS (1987), RUSH (1991) and NARC (2002), so it’s great to see him amongst a solid cast in what appears to be the leading role.
