From Paris With Love

(2010) - 1/5


I don't really feel like writing my own review on this, so my review will be very unconventional: 
I plan on copying and pasting parts of other reviews I've read on Flixster and IMBD that pretty much state/conclude what I think about the movie. (Anything written in brackets are my short comments).

1) "John Travolta as the loud mouthed "badass" just doesn't work anymore, he looks rough with a "Just for Men" gotee."

2) "this movie was weird. it started so fast and then just kept going and going. I didn't find it to be very good. lots of things weren't really explained. I feel like it skimmed the surface instead of going deep in to a story."

3) "A good action thriller does not need to be jam packed with excessive violence. This film rushes from one exhausting sequence to the next, numbing us from any thrilling effect"

4) "JT and RM?s characters are paper-thin and were poorly written"

5) "Travolta's character was completely ridiculous. Meant to be a Top Secret Agent, Travolta acted more like a psychotic member of the Arian Brotherhood than a CIA operative. Things go from awful to completely unbelievable as the film reaches a climax."
(there were a few reviews that stated that this movie seemed like it was the KKK rather than CIA)

(this review is awesome)
6) "This film is a treat to watch(for all KKK members). The story of the film is simple, White Americans against the whole world. The film start with John Travolta cursing some French security guard and then they go to a Chinese restaurant and kill loads of Chinese people and then he beat up some Asian Teens, then kill more Chinese, then beat up some local French minors, then kill a lot of Arabs and Indians and Pakistanis and then some more Arabs. The director had a difficult choice to make towards the end to either kill a whole bunch of Africans or kill one more French girl and he went with the French girl. I think he had left the killing of Black people for the Second episode of the film(From Sudan with love)."
