PanARMENIAN.Net - A retired crime boss revisits his old life of exploding cars and suitcases full of guns in the first trailer for The Prince, starring Bruce Willis, John Cusack and Jason Patric, The Hollywood Reporter said.

Patric plays Paul, whose daughter has gone missing. He teams up with his best friend (Cusack) to face off with former rival Omar (Willis), who still blames Paul for his own daughter's death. In a pivotal scene, Omar holds Paul's daughter captive as both Omar and Paul prepare to shoot at each other on the count of three.

Brian A. Miller directed from a script by Andre Fabrizio and Jeremy Passmore, whose credits include the script for the 2015 Dwayne Johnson disaster flick San Andreas. Jessica Lowndes (90210) and 50 Cent co-star.

Grindstone releases the film in theaters and on VOD on Aug. 22, clearly hoping that the film is as commercially successful as other missing-daughter thrillers like 2008's Taken.
