Prince Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is the adopted son of the King of Persia, and a new national hero when he storms the gates of a sacred city. However, when he is framed for the death of his father, he must go on the run with the princess of the city, Tamina (Gemma Arterton). Together, they must prove his innocence, and save the world via a mystic dagger that contains the sands of time.
The film plays like an Arabian Bond movie- our dashing, quick-witted hero leaps and bounds from one scrape to another. There’s no huge, epic battle sequences, with director Mike Newell deciding on tighter, one-on-one fights for the most part which makes it seem more like a video game than a movie. In it’s favour, the pace is lightning fast for a two hour film, and being a Bruckheimer production one doesn’t get the chance to get bored.
A big, overblown movie with explosions, beautiful people and a shaky script- yup, it’s a Bruckheimer film! Fortunately for him, the formula works (just about) and even though this action/adventure is nothing that will live long in the memory, you can happily while away a couple of hours and not feel cheated.
Prince of Persia is released on May 21.
