John & Becky’s Movie Review Of From Paris With Love

Posted By: John & Becky's Movie Reviews on February 7, 2010 in Movie Reviews - Comments: No Comments »

Becky and I went to see the new John Travolta movie From Paris With Love this Weekend at the Kerasotes theaters in Castle Rock, CO. The Fandango website at From Paris With Love describes the movie as follows:

“A low-ranking intelligence operative (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) working in the office of the U.S. Ambassador in France takes on more than he bargained for when he partners with a wisecracking, fast-shooting, high-ranking U.S. agent (John Travolta) who’s been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack…”

The Review
From Paris With Love is the new John Travolta flick that came out this weekend and we were surprised by this movie. There is plenty of violence and it’s quite graphic at times, but the story and the characters were really interesting. It’s directed by the same guy who did Transporter and Transporter 2, so there are some action sequences with the beloved Audi again, with a great chase scene.

it’s violent like the Transporter and Taken movies that Pierre Morel Directed and John Travolta’s character is violent, but very funny that helps alleviate the violence. He does a great job with his main character and so does Jonathan Rhys-Meyers who plays his side-kick, analytical, wanna-be secret agent.  The film has plenty of twists and turns with a good story. There are a number of parts that are not believable, as you might expect in an action film.

Overall, this movie was a surprise. It’s probably a rental for most people, but we both liked the film for an action flick, other than the violence being a bit over-the-top at times. We would have to say that it was Worth The Trip though.

John – *** Worth The Trip
