‘The Princess’ can’t quite rescue itself from a violent, definitely not-Disney movie

For anyone wondering why “The Princess” is premiering on Hulu in the US, not sister service Disney+, the movie answers that in the first five minutes, when the title character brutally dispatches a pair of guards sent into the tower where she’s being held. While the timing seems right for a princess who rescues herself, there’s precious little substance to this violent fantasy, featuring Joey King figuratively letting down her hair.
