FROM PARIS WITH LOVE Film Review - 22/3/10

Let's face it you can see Luc Besson's touch all over this high-octane action movie and he just wrote the story! As a Director himself Besson who has way too many numerous great action films to his name so takes a back seat here and let's the Director Pierre Morel ('The Transporter') trash half of Paris. With leading man John Travolta as an out-of-control Black Ops agent called in to do a job he wades through the bad guys like butter and his sidekick a straitlaced Jonathan Rhys Meyers gets dragged along for the ride. Throw in your usual cliches of terrorists and drugs and massive plotholes and it just doesn't matter! The sheer exuberance of it all rattles along all guns blazing - It's totally ridiculous but endlessly entertaining. Another to add to the BUY LIST on DVD when available!
