Le-Van Kiet’s fantasy “The Princess” is traditional, with a Celtic flute trill, a pink sunrise, and a slow climb to the top of a thorny tower that will become the bride of an unnamed princess. Beginning with the method (Joey King) lies in a bed studded with rose petals. But here, the beauty of the royal family pretends to be asleep. Five minutes after this slender but lively bloody parable, two enemy guards enter to drag our heroine into the chapel — and she brutally kills them. Obviously, the classic genre that enlivens Kiette and screenwriters Ben Lustig and Jake Thornton isn’t about old European fairy tales, but about the revenge thrillers of 1970s feminists: warrior women. The man who stuck to it and made a movie of exploitation and martial arts. With a knife.
The plot progresses like an arcade game. Her Highness to defeat her denialists, including her tyrannical fiancé (Dominic Cooper), his cruel spouse (Olga Kurylenko), and the princess’s father (Ed Stopperd). You have to fight downstairs. A wise reason. Using a touch of dialogue, the film makes counterpoint: physical violence is needed to control the throne. That is one opinion that the princess and her villain’s fiancée can agree on.
The long take is a brilliantly creative battle between King’s courage (like when she attacks back and forth on the card table and dispatches three Goons) with Stanimir Stamatov and Samuel Kefi Abrick. Emphasizes both of the choreography. We found objects (hairpins, pearls, lettuce heads) for carrying swords, axes, chains, whips, and helmets with sharp horns. The high aggro guitar score is a failure, but when she kicks, stabs, or screams the right to choose her destiny, the panting, tattered King is reliable and compelling.
