If you'd like to see John Travolta curse up a storm and kill indiscriminately, here's your movie. It tries to throw in a few twists, but really, it's just a lot of shooting and cursing with a loose story about terrorism thrown in for good measure. |

this movie is good. i ALMOST love it! i love the two lead characters but not James Reece at the end! James Reece didn't want to kill anybody but he killed his fiance, i like romance movies but i don't like this movie ended.. i expected more of James's love with Caroline..
i'm lost with the plot!
like other reviews, i want to compare it with the movie TAKEN... uhmm.. Taken is better than this movie but not with a large gap..
Travolta entertains me. Meyers? this is the first time i see him, i think i have to see others of his movies before judging him..
watch it and let's see if you will love it.. |

A wannabe special ops field agent is partnered with a specialist to root out a terrorist cell intent on assassinating a peace conference in gay Paris. Very much in the same vein as 80s chalk and cheese buddy cop movies written by the likes of Shane Black, From Paris With Love is similarly misogynistic and gratuitously violent as wise cracking super agent Travolta teaches lily livered liberal Rhys Myers how to become a trigger happy Nazi in order to "get the job done". The result is a cross between Training Day and The Rookie for spies, and as usual the old "terrorism" card is played to excuse the indiscriminate slaughter of everyone they come across, while John does his wacky hitman schtick anyone who has seen Broken Arrow or Swordfish will be familiar with. The direction is decent and th... |
