From Paris with Love


A fun 90 minute action movie with little to recommend beyond the adrenaline rush it provides. It is relentlessly paced to the point that it can actually become a little exhausting. It also has a somewhat confusing story, although it isn't the focus of the movie and therefore it doesn't suffer a whole lot from it. Travolta is chewing on the scenery and loving it, providing the biggest joy the movie has to offer. Rhys-Meyers doesn't really do much beyond act surprised at what Travolta is doing, but they have an effective buddy relationship by the end of the film. From Paris with Love is nothing to get all that excited about, but if all you are looking for is 90 minutes of non-stop action that doesn't tax the brain and provides a few fun moments then this is for you.
