\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“From Paris with Love<\/a>” is a fast-paced action comedy with John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. \u00a0I found this movie by accident, but I quite enjoyed it. \u00a0So much in fact, that I watched it twice in the last month or so. \u00a0Sure, it has a few weird romantic moments that needed more polish, but all of those are nicely compensated by action, humor, and an explosive, brutal, yet humane character of John Travolta. \u00a0It’s John Travolta at his best. \u00a0The one I missed for a long time now, since “Pulp Fiction”, “Be Cool”, and “Michael”.<\/p>\n

Remember all those James Bond movies with Sean Connery? \u00a0And then how all the charm was taken out of Agent 007 by Daniel Craig? \u00a0Well, this movie is a variation on a modern James Bond (an American, of course, but still in Europe), with plenty of charm, and yet with enough brutality of Daniel Craig. \u00a0Without Daniel Craig. \u00a0(Not that I have anything against Daniel Craig outside of James Bond role).<\/p>\n

There is not much else that I can say about it. \u00a0Not your regular family entertainment, but a bunch of guys could have a blast with it over a pint of beer. \u00a0My rating – 4 out of 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
