Plot Summary
This action film, directed by Pierre Morel (Taken), concerns young CIA agent James Reece (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) who has a cushy day job but dreams of an exciting life in the field. When the agency offers him his first big-time assignment, James must team with crazed lone wolf Charlie Wax (John Travolta) to stop a terrorist bombing plot. Although James is initially in way over his head, he soon realizes that he needs to trust Charlie if he wants to live his dream and save his own life, because the bad guys not only want to cause damage to the city, but want James killed.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: For better or worse, From Paris With Love is an effective stimulant.
Rotten: Crushing dull repetition that makes one noisy, violent scene play exactly like the last one.
Rotten: Extraordinarily bad by any measure.
Rotten: Desperately unoriginal.
Customer Reviews
Great movie
Badass and awesome action packed scenes. Travolta def pulls off the role as Charlie. I highly recommend this movie!
Good lord I wish I gave that $2.99 to a homeless crackhead instead.
May god have mercy on your soul John Travolta.
Fun movie. Not like a lot of them
It was an action movie like many others and not like any of them at the same time. I could probably ramble on about it but I'll just say I liked it a lot and was not disappointed at all. Absolutely in my list of movies I could watch again and again. When I saw the trailer I laughed at John Travolta's character but I was wrong. His character was really original and awesome despite all the cliches.
