Quick Review: From Paris With Love
Honestly, I was only hoping for some stupid, campy mindless fun from "From Paris With Love." Instead of craptacular, it was just crap. I seriously considered walking out of the theater less than halfway through, but decided to stick it out, in part to see if a prediction I made about a key character in the film would come true. It did. A low-level CIA operative looking to be promoted so he can get more important assignments (Jonathan Rhys Myers) is paired up with a head-shaved nutcase (John Travolta), shooting up various Paris locales in what is seemingly about busting a drug ring but then turns into a terrorist plot. From script to acting to anything else, I can't recommend anything about this film. My grade: D-minus.
