“From Paris with Love” follows the story of a young employee in the US Ambassador Office who is teamed up with an American spy who is on an agenda. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is James Reece a newly promoted agent who has to quickly ditch his fiancé to save his new partner at the airport. He quickly learns his partner Charlie Wax, played by John Travolta is a bit boisterous and out of control. Immediately the two go on their first mission. James thinks they are going for a quick eat at a local Chinese restaurant only to discover they are on a drug bust as Charlie quickly kills everyone in the restaurant.
As the two continue on their 24 hour sting operation James discovers there is more to this mission than a drug bust. After many explosions and disruption in the city James finally discovers the truth. The search they are on involves a terrorist threat to the beautiful city. Finding it impossible to return home to his fiancé James is left wondering if she will ever understand why he disappeared for hours and hours. As the mission continues there are many bodies left in the wake of Charlie’s wax on – wax off attitude.
“From Paris with Love” is an action comedy that will keep audiences entertained. John Travolta comes back in a humorous way that I found perfect for this film. I enjoyed his bad ass comedy much more than his recent work. Jonathan Rhys Meyers played well off of Travolta’s wild ways, making for a dynamic agent duo. The storyline had many twists and turns that were unexpected, making it an enjoyable story to the end. “From Paris with Love” granted you everything you could want from an action comedy: humor, gore, deceit, lies and one bang of an ending.
