The Princess

The movie takes place in an unspecified, vaguely medieval kingdom. The premise is straightforward. The king has arranged to marry off his daughter for political/dynastic reasons, but the princess is unwilling.

Then the fun begins.

It's one long escape/fight/rescue scene, with occasional flashbacks.

The Princess is no helpless damsel waiting for others to rescue her or her family. If you can't bear to see an action movie without a manly man saving the day and getting the girl in the end, move along. This isn't that.

The film is violent. There's blood, a body count, on-screen fatal wounds, and occasional gruesome deaths.

There's plenty of stuntwork and violations of the laws of physics, but if you're looking for a historical documentary or a physics simulation, this ain't it.

There are flashes of humor here and there.

Currently I m playing a stealth video game (with rats, lot of rats) the second time which is against a backdrop of Middle Age France. So when I watched this movie I could find a lot of similarities between them. A princess hunted by soldiers within a castle. But this time it a bit different. It's kinda too-down in a tower.

Since I found this movie by surprise, I really had zero expectation for it. But then, I was totally caught by surprise. It's totally entertaining. Then another surprise: I found some familiar faces, namely Veronica Ngo and Olga Kurylenko. Mm, how I miss them both.

I would say it's definitely a good choice for a night of chilling martial action. Wow, girls can be badass if they got hot blood.

I can see this becoming a cult classic. It's female warrior princess trope. We kept thinking of swamp castle in Monty Python and Shawn of the dead... I'd watch it again if I needed a laugh and a female power pick me up .

It lacked a story and eventhough I like actionmovies , this was a bit too much. Also feel kinda cheated cause they described it as fantasy. Not seeing much fantasy apart from castles and knights So it is a no from me.

This has a very simple and linear story, like the princess fights her way down from the tower level after level like in a game.

If you like watching a small woman kill stronger and bigger men for one and a half hour this is the film for you.
