3 star rating THE Screened Review by Alex Navarro

This video game adaptation is an entirely competent action flick, which is, in itself, a momentous achievement.

Mike Newell Director previously directed Love in the Time of Cholera

A big screen adaptation of the 2003 video game of the same name, Prince of Persia tells the story of an unusually nimble and acrobatic prince who must utilize a magical dagger with the power to reverse time itself in order to save the world from annihilation.
Trivia:

The "Hassansins" are obviously modeled on the famous Islamic mystery cult called the Hashashin from which the word "assassin" is derived given their use of terror and assassinations as political leverage. Their leader was named Hassan Ibn Sabbah. Legends have surrounded the indoctrination process of the members of the Hashashin cult, which are said to involve drugging and mind control.
