Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Unless you're a fan of yawn-worthy shootouts and showdowns, "The Prince" is a "Taken" retread hardly indicative of any special set of skills.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
Rotten
An idle Netflix user could certainly do far worse when browsing for mindless actioners. But the overall air of shrugging obligation from those both in front of and behind the camera proves contagious.
Andrew Barker, Variety
Rotten
'Taken' without any of the charisma or energy.
