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.
Reese is blessed with a good job and a loving fiancee, Caroline, which is played by actress Kasia Smutniak, whom he trusts with his ambition to become a CIA agent. Reese keeps an extra side job taking on minor assignments from the CIA, which he performs quite well since he knows his way around the diplomatic circles.
Thinking that he may be up for that real CIA promotion to agent, Reese accepts another assignment wherein he is given a partner (played by established actor, John Travolta). Reese does not realize how his life is about to take a very drastic turn the moment he meets up with his partner, Charlie Wax.
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.
From smuggling a gun past airport security officials, to killing off goons in a Chinese restaurant connected to a drug supply ring, Wax shows Reese a very different side to the otherwise dignified concept of a CIA agent. This is where Reese starts to learn that not all secret agents are as suave and smooth as James Bond, as his new partner is the complete picture of all that is not ideal.
Wax proceeds to attack one drug den after another, telling Reese he is on a special "offline" mission for a high government official whose daughter was a victim of the drug ring. After making it obvious that he is after something deeper, Reese finally manages to get Wax to tell him the actual truth about the mission.
In actuality, the cocaine trail leads to an underground circle of terrorists plotting to infiltrate the U. S. Embassy. Reese is shocked to find that a very active player in this circle of subversives is his own fiancee who had been specifically chosen to glean intelligence from Reese, betraying his trust in her.
Caroline turns out to be the suicide bomber who manages to infiltrate the U. S. Embassy during a summit, and she mingles with the crowd with planned accuracy, waiting for the perfect time. Reese then realizes that it is his fiancee who has used his pass to gain access to the U. S. Embassy, and tries to make his way in through security to stop her.
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.
