The Trailer

The Review

Oh boy, what can I say about this movie.

It has all the attribute of an action thriller, but it’s just all that, and nothing else.

From Paris with Love lacks that certain touch of character.

The story is one that we have seen from countless spies movies.

John Travolta is running out of facial expression, and Jonathan Rhys Meyers is boring.

The chemistry between the two was awkward, as if both are trying to outdo each other for the alpha-male role.

The only pleasing thing I got from this was all the spectacular explosions.

Go watch this movie with no expectation, it’s a mindless cheesy flick.

The Good

• Lots of non-stop action

The Bad

• Terrible ending
• Simple implausible plot
