A furiously action packed film, From Paris with Love takes the audience on a wild ride all the way through with its fast paced unforgettable scenes and many blazing guns. For lovers of action movies that carry some suspense and other scenes that are a cause for much debate afterward, this is the movie to see.
One of the main characters, James Reese, is played by Golden Globe Best Actor award winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The character James Reese is the personal aide assisting the U. S. Ambassador to France, and his dedication to his work has the Ambassador's full trust and confidence in his flawless efficiency.
However, Reese is also ambitious and willing to play his own quiet game of cat and mouse as he takes on minor assignments from the CIA, attempting to become an official CIA agent someday. His job as an aide allows for him to use his influence in some of the assignments given, and he is restless to succeed in his goal to be part of the CIA. His fiancee, Caroline (Kasia Smutniak), knows everything about him and he trusts her completely with his secrets, especially since the assignments sometimes take him away from her at unexpected hours.
This double life that Reese leads is completely pivoted to another level when he meets Charlie Wax. Played by seasoned actor John Travolta, Charlie Wax is sent to France on a mission and has been given James Reese as a partner who knows the Paris well. Wax is an agent with a style all his own, and this is completely beyond what Reese expects.
John Travolta does justice to this movie as his grand appearance as an uncouth, misbehaving but effective CIA agent takes control and the action scenes start pumping. The movie takes a sudden fast paced vibration as Charlie Wax begins to take his mission on a roll.
Wax enters the scene with his rude behavior toward French customs officials as he inadvertently gets detained for canned health drinks (it is discovered later that these cans are containers for a concealed weapon). Reese finds his hands full when Wax insists he get him past customs with all canned drinks intact, and refuses to leave without them, calling the French officers all sorts of names and insults. The scene ends with Reese finding a better approach to the situation by giving the canned items a diplomatic pouch status.
Once in the city, Reese finds that his partner is not like any agent he has ever imagined, and Wax proves this to him time and again as he shoots and bombards his way into drug dens and alleyways to complete his mission. Explaining that his mission is but a simple drug syndicate bust assigned by an angry government official, Wax takes on drug lords and goons with precision and timing, but always with noise.
The drugs that are confiscated by Wax leads them closer to the actual target, which is an underground group of Pakistani terrorists who have plans of infiltrating the U. S. Embassy. As the movie progresses, Reese is exposed to the ugly truth that his own fiancee is a member of this group, and has been using him all along.
The movie reaches its peak as a suicide bomber succeeds in infiltrating the U. S. Embassy disguised as a summit delegate. Reese starts to analyze all the facts and realizes that it is his fiancee who has been chosen to carry the bomb.
The movie takes a turn towards the dramatic as Reese tries to convince Caroline not to activate the bomb, and that her life means so much more to him. Regardless she still tries to activate the bomb and Reese is compelled to shoot her point blank, killing her and watching her fall. As she falls, Wax comes up from behind and catches her, and later disarms the bomb.
From Paris with Love is a movie filled with action, mystery, and self analysis as James Reese has to shed everything he used to believe his life to be, and takes on the reigns to become an official CIA agent. The fact that his unlikely mentor is Charlie Wax, Reese becomes a changed man by the end of the movie. - 40732
