Action Movie From Paris With Love
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.
The story opens with James Reese, a seemingly mild and efficient diplomatic personal aide who does his job so well that he has won the complete confidence and trust of his employer. Played by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, this Golden Globe award winner executes his character with dedicated charm.
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 begins to take Reese on a wild ride from the very beginning, as Reese is forced to use diplomatic influence to pull him past customs officials who detain him for bringing in canned drinks. Wax begins to show Reese the real and brutal side of secret agent work that all begins when he assembles his gun “Mrs. Jones” from the very same canned drinks that caused trouble with French customs. Armed and on a mission, Wax hunts down and eliminates goons in a Chinese restaurant that houses a drug syndicate.
Reese is then taken on a whirlwind spin around the city as Wax uncovers one drug den after another, obviously searching for bigger fish, under the pretense that he is on a mission off the record for an angry diplomat whose daughter was victimized by a drug ring. Obnoxious and completely taking no effort to cover up his tracks, Wax eventually confides to Reese that the drug busting only scratches the surface of a deeper mission.
The truth is finally revealed when Wax tells Reese about his real purpose, which is to find a group of terrorists that has a plot to bomb the U. S. Embassy in France, and are apparently being financed by sales of cocaine. It is later on that Reese finally learns that his fiancee also plays a role and is a member of this terrorist group, willing to die for a cause.
The entire story comes full circle when a suicide bomber actually succeeds in making it into the U. S. Embassy in the guise of a delegate attending a summit. It also reaches its climax when Reese comes to the conclusion that it is his fiancee who has been chosen to die for the cause.
Trying to talk her out of activating the bomb, Reese ultimately fails and has too shoot Caroline as she makes the attempt to blow up the summit anyway. As she falls from the bullet wound on her forehead, Wax catches her and manages to disarm the bomb, while Reese looks on.
James Reese goes through many changes in his character as this movie progresses, as he slowly comes to realize that being a secret agent is a brutal game that needs to be played wisely. By the end of this movie, Reese becomes a changed man and begins to take on traits not far from those of Charlie Wax.
