A Princesa

I've been watching over the top action movies all my life and this by no means is bad. This has a simple story, sticks to it, and is fun while doing so. That in no way makes for a bad movie, some people just need to understand that not everything needs to be a million dollar Marvel film for it to be fun. This has good action scenes and some great one liners. It's worth watching if you can enjoy a simple old fashioned action film and can ignore all the inane reviews that have been left here.

Though this same formula has been recycled in dozens of other movies in past years, it did certainly have good action. Fighting was very well choreographed and did certainly put this above other films of the same type.

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.

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.

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.
