FROM PARIS WITH LOVE (Theatrical Release France 2010)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

From Paris with Love—a great guy film—allows John Travolta to completely move away from his Grease persona. His successful breakaway comes due to his very good interpretation of a professional assassin. Jonathan Rhys Meyers excellently supports Travolta’s performance and creates a defining charisma with John Travolta and the rest of the supporting cast that pushes the movie forward to higher entertainment levels than it would have had. Great work by Director Pierre Morel. This movie is thoroughly enjoyable and entertains at every juncture.
