Where Did The Princess Go

I haven't done a post about anything I picked up at the video store. I'm bored at the moment and figured what the hell. This particular gem I actually saw like a year ago. (Side note I liked it so much I now own it.)

The movie I'm talking about is called Havoc and stars Anne Hathaway in a role that goes opposite everything she's ever done. It's an amazing performance that really did leave me asking, where did the princess go? That is a good thing to be asking though. Don't get me wrong I love The Princess Diaries and it's sequel, The Devil Wears Prada was fantastic, and Anne was good in Brokeback Mountain however I've been waiting for that one role that would really stand out. The one that would show there was more there than another pretty romantic comedy lead. The one that says she can lead a dramatic cast, and I certainly found it.

This is not an easy movie to stomach at times. It's one of those movies that makes me ask how people become so disconnected with the world around them. It's interesting how in The Princess Diaries Anne plays an outsider character looking to fit in and belong. In Havoc she plays a character who fits in, in everyway and is looking to be part of the outsider world to an extreme degree.

If you're a real fan and you're looking to see what Anne is really capable off check out Havoc. If you're on the fence about her talent then check it out too. Just remember this is not a fun family film. It's a heavy drama that features sex, drugs, and alcohol among other things.
