It's John Travolta like you have never seen him before. Here he is Mister Action, the ultimate Tough Guy, the new Bruce Willis but with more flair. The story itself is not particularly noteworthy. But there is lots of action as Travolta shows everyone who's boss in this action-packed special effects extravaganza. Also there is non-stop violence with Mr. Travolta leading the way. If you like movies with stories that feature nonstop violence, then this movie is for you. If you like John Travolta, this movie is for you. But in terms of the story, don't expect too much from this movie. Remember: it's a commercial product so at some point artistic merit inevitably gives way to the usual dose of special effects that Hollywood spews out like clockwork. Hooray for John Travolta and Hollywood!

How do you make one of the best late 90s action stars make you yawn over and over again in an action movie? Give us a lame director I guess. You give us a hitman who is unstoppable and pile it on and on without a plot, world building and etc. The only good thing about this film is the title and I am pretty sure it is stolen from a Bond movie. Talk about talentless.

The assistant of the American Ambassador in Paris James Reece (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) is an aspirant spy working in minor jobs for the CIA. James lives with his fiancée Caroline (Kasia Smutniak) and expects to be promoted to the special operations. When James is assigned to drive the unconventional but efficient agent Charlie Wax (John Travolta) in Paris, James learns that a terrorist cell is preparing to attack the American delegation and he is close to the key element that will explode the group of representatives of his government."From Paris with Love" is an explosive collection of clichés with a predictable story. There are scenes supposed to be funny that do not work and there is nothing new in the plot. The good thing is the gorgeous unknown actress Kasia Smutniak. My vote is four.Title (Brazil): "Dupla Implacável" ("Implacable Double")
