Prince is a Dutch crime thriller movie that released in 2015. The movie tells the story of a streetwise youngster named Ayoub who lives in a grimy Rotterdam suburb. Ayoub is a fifteen-year-old boy who's struggling with his parents' recent divorce, and things aren't any easier in school either. He has a crush on Laura, a girl who already has a boyfriend, the abusive Twan. Ayoub spends most of his days in his room, smoking cigarettes and dreaming of a better life.

One day, Ayoub meets a charming street hustler named Kalpa, who is looking for help in creating a video that would help him win the affection of Laura's sister, Merel. Ayoub agrees to assist him, and together they embark on an unexpected journey that turns his life upside down. Kalpa introduces Ayoub to a dangerous world of drugs and crime, and soon Ayoub finds himself caught in the middle of a war between rival gangs.

The movie revolves around Ayoub's struggles and his aspirations of being a prince. Ayoub sees himself as an underdog who's on a mission to prove his worth to the world. Ayoub's character is fascinating, and the director does an excellent job of portraying the complexity of his personality. He's a teenager who's trying to find his place in the world, while dealing with the disillusionment that comes along with growing up.

One of the most notable aspects of the movie is the visual style. The director, Sam de Jong, creates a rich and vibrant world that contrasts with the character's bleak realities. The cinematography is particularly impressive, with vibrant colors that pop on the screen, even in the grittiest of settings.

Another standout element of the movie is the cast. The lead actor, Ayoub Elasri, delivers a standout performance that brings the character to life in a way that's both engaging and relatable. Elasri manages to capture the subtle nuances of Ayoub's character, from his wit and charm to his vulnerability and shortcomings.

The supporting cast, including Jorik Scholten and Achraf Meziani, also deliver strong performances that help to flesh out the world of the movie. Scholten plays Kalpa, the charming street hustler who lures Ayoub into his world of crime and danger. Meziani plays Ayoub's friend, Franky, who provides a much-needed sounding board for Ayoub's inner turmoil.

On the whole, the movie is a well-crafted crime thriller that successfully melds genre conventions with engaging character development. The director creates a visually striking world that elevates the story beyond its gritty realism. The cast is impressive, particularly Ayoub Elasri's mesmerizing performance, which anchors the movie in an emotional reality that carries us through even the darkest moments.

In conclusion, Prince is a movie that's well worth watching for anyone who's looking for an engaging crime thriller with a compelling central character. The movie is a testament to the power of independent cinema and to the talent of the filmmakers and cast who bring it to life.
