    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Charlie tells Reese that his one vice is a Royale with cheese. In the movie Pulp Fiction, John Travolta tells Samuel L. Jackson that in France, a Quarter Pounder is called a Royale with cheese.
    • Goofs
      During the car chase Wax leans out of the passenger side window of the Audi, aiming his rocket launcher across the roof towards the terrorist's car, which travels on the driver's side. In several shots it is clearly visible, that the Audi has a glass sun roof. This type of roof can always be opened with Audi. So rather than leaning at high personal risk out of the passenger's side window, it would have been the logical thing to do for Wax to open the sunroof which would have also provided a much better field of fire and be at the same time be far less risky.

    A Fun Way To Spend 90 Minutes.
    A young spy who wants to get bigger and better jobs is partnered with an American hot head with a foul mouth and a love for violence. The mission is to stop some terrorists.

    To say I was expecting crap would be an understatement. Travolta's goofy look, a tired clichéd pairing of straight man and crazy partner, senseless action that would try to cram a plot and story in at some point. Yet, after the credits rolled, I sat there with a smile on my face. As far as spy films go, this one takes a more action heavy side. There are some cool and interesting gadgets, but I didn't get any James Bond moment.

    Travolta surprised me here too. His character was funny, bad ass at times and knew how to kick some ass. The only downside would be that I just couldn't imagine Travolta doing half of these things. He's a great character and fits perfectly with this film, but it seems a tad miscast for the action sequences. Travolta nails every other part of the role. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is the straight man to Travolta's crazy hero. This is nothing new and the film doesn't try to step around this issue. Instead it is upfront about it. It tells you exactly what you are in for when you are introduced to these characters. All it asks is for you, as a viewer, to enjoy the action and thrills this film wants to give you.

    The action is non-stop. Of course we are privy to those scenes in between where we need to move the plot along, but the film has shootouts, car chases, foot chases, rocket launchers, etc. It's handled well and I was actually able to see the action on the screen. I was never lost in the film, I knew where I was the whole time and what was being depicted. Again, that one shortfall is that we know Travolta isn't doing these action sequences, it's clearly a stuntman.

    With every spy film you know there will be some twist that someone is not who they seem to be. I was able to pick this one out right from the beginning. Again, the plot devices used in From Paris With Love are far from original, we have all seen this film before. So why bother watching it? For the chemistry between the two leads and the action sequences in a beautiful city. The city, we unfortunately, did not see enough of.

    I went in with low expectations and came out happy with the end result. I would suggest you do the same.
