I really didn't like that movie. Overweight and old John Travolta the action star? No way! The casting is so wrong. Why would an Agency send one of their aging weird looking agent to find a terrorist organization? If he's the best that's just insane.Some of the action looks good thanks to great stunt work but that's about it. It's a big waste of JRM talent.

Another brilliant performance from John Travota. He has proved to be a great actor indeed. Travolta at his best. Showing what a great actor he is. Non stop action and death all around him. Really looks different with no hair but suits the part his partner in the film is great as well. Great ending. Call me shallow but I loved this film. It is a departure for John Travolta to play a shaven haired agent.If you take the film for what it is - an action film - with a great line about the French in the opening scenes with Travolta! then you are in for a treat.If you like Die Hard, Last Action Hero, Commando etc - you'll love this - both my wife and I really enjoyed it.If you enjoy Opera, Classical Literature, Country Walking or ironing your jeans - this film is probably not for you - but hey give it a go, try something new you may love it!

OK FIRST: The movie was "good". The fighting scenes are cool! From Paris With Love is an actionmovie from 2010 with John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.A badass American comes to Paris to do a special job with Reese.Cool sayings from John Travolta don't make this film better.Travolta finds out, that his gf Caroline is a "murdress".She was only together with him, to spionage him.She shoots on Reese, but of corse he survives.They want to find Caroline."Good" Movie.

This is the kind of action movie where the filmmakers make the pace and the action set pieces so furious that, if their efforts pay off, the viewer won't be stopping to think about how preposterous the whole thing is. And it works, at least to a degree. The movie doesn't offer us anything we haven't seen before. But it's all heavily stylized and reasonably intense.Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays James Reese, the assistant to the American Ambassador to France (Richard Durden). James also moonlights as an errand boy for the C.I.A., doing things like changing license plates, all in the hope that someday he'll get a big time operative job with the Agency. The assignment that could earn him that honour is to work with a goofball loose cannon agent named Charlie Wax (John Travolta). Wax involves the increasingly flustered Reese in a non-stop series of escapades, all in the name of avenging the death of the niece of the Secretary of Defense. At least, that's the b.s. story handed to Reese at the beginning.A number of Paris locations are well utilized in this rather snazzy bit of entertainment. It may not really have a brain, but director Pierre Morel ("Taken") and idea man Luc Besson do their able best to keep the audience engaged, and guffaw at some of the sillier moments (Wax actually makes Reese carry around a vase full of cocaine). The frenetic chase sequence in which Wax leans out of a car window to aim a rocket launcher at his quarry is exciting and silly in about equal measure.Most viewers will probably say that the big "twist" was painfully obvious, right from the start, and truthfully it's not exactly hard to figure out, but the Reese character is understandably in a level of denial about the whole thing.Polish actress Kasia Smutniak is appealing as Reese's girlfriend, but the movie truly belongs to *both* Travolta and Meyers. Meyers's job is to basically do a lot of *reacting* and function as a somewhat realistic centre, while Travolta, sporting a bald head, is afforded the opportunity to chew the scenery in an agreeable fashion.Clearly Morel and company just couldn't resist that "Pulp Fiction" reference.Six out of 10.
