From Paris with Love Trailers

James Reese has a good job as an ambassador's aid in France, but his real passion is a side gig—working in a minor role in the CIA. He would love to be a full-fledged agent and can't believe his luck when he lands an assignment with Charlie Wax. Trigger-happy Charlie soon has James crying for his desk job, but when he learns that the same guys they're trying to catch are after him, James realises that Charlie may be his only hope of survival.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Coming into this movie I didn't expect much. But once I decided to give it a watch...I loved it!!! Only because the film didn't make past $100 million dollars on Box Office, dosen't mean it's going to be bad. I am surprised this film only made $52 million, although that is still good but it should have done better. This film fits perfectly well with other Travolta action flicks: Broken Arrow, Face/Off, Swordwish and even The Punisher. Very good film, in fact I would consider this to be one of my favourite films in his career. The action is incredible, plus you get Travolta's great funny, comedic style acting. Ditto the film! I was blown away, by this movie.

Awesome. Action packed. Blood. Guns. Car chases. These are just the main points added with a fast flowing movie, good story and first class acting for this movie cant be anything less than a 5/5. The plot is as fast moving as the car chases and the plot develops from one into another to a dramatic conclusion. Saying much more about this movie would include spoilers, so enough said. Just watch.Cool, Slick, Fast Paced, Funny, with a truck load of Killing and vase full of Coke!! Oh and a 10 year old pointing a gun in your face!!If you don't like any of that, this movie is rubbish, if you do, then its too cool for school!!In the end, sometimes, doing what is necessary, not what is morally and emotionally right, is the only way to get the job done!!

From producer/writer Luc Besson comes another action movie with American leads set in Paris, and while it is largely competent from a technical standpoint, there are some jarring tonal shifts which may not sit right with everyone. Jonathan Rhys Meyers plays James Reese, the personal assistant of the American diplomat in Paris. He's excellent at his job, but he longs for a more exciting life as a spy. Enter Charlie Wax (John Travolta), who is everything the straight-laced Reese isn't: first and foremost an actual secret agent, and in general a rather aggressive personality. The two of them team up to finish a job, and prove to Reese's boss that he can cut it as a "member of the club."From the first few frames, it was clear that this would be a well-shot movie (from Pierre Morel, who also directed TAKEN), but upon hearing Jonathan Rhys Meyers open his mouth I lost a lot of hope that it would be a well-acted one. He was uninspiring and uncharismatic in the worst way possible. Thankfully, John Travolta showed up to chew the scenery and add some life into what was essentially a bargain-basement spy thriller with great production values. Even though it seemed like he was in a completely different movie, his presence lightened the mood a little bit, even if he didn't really have much chemistry with Meyers. If there's one saving grace about this film, other than having technically proficient action and good cinematography, it was Travolta.Pausing a moment to discuss the plot, I thought that it was rather formulaic and rote in its approach to this rather overdone genre. I get that the title is a sort-of nod to James Bond, but this can't hold a candle to that franchise. Not only that, but the plot didn't make much sense either, and character motivation was either muddled or non-existent, particularly with a third act twist which reveals who the true villain is. Even though this is an over-the-top action movie with elements that are a bit removed from reality, the least they could have done was to try and make it somewhat coherent.However, despite all of the shortcomings there are enough elements in the film to give it a loose recommendation. John Travolta is truly awesome in his role as the fast-talking secret agent with an itchy trigger finger and a warped sense of humor. There are also a number of well-executed action and fight sequences which don't hold back in terms of what they show (as opposed to something like TAKEN). Pierre Morel is a master behind the camera, and it shows. Also, since this movie is set in Paris and stars John Travolta, they go for an easy (but still funny) Pulp Fiction joke. Overall, fans of mindless action should find a lot to enjoy here, while everyone else would be better served watching a Bond film or checking out one of Luc Besson's other, better productions.
