If you are an action movie fan, then From Paris with Love is a production that you must not miss. This movie is action packed all throughout, and contains scenes that will keep your eyes riveted to the screen with excitement all the way through.
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.
Unknown to his employer, Reese has a sideline ambition to become a full fledged CIA operative and he has been taking on minor assignments during his diplomatic capacity as an aide. All of this activity is shared in confidence with his lovely French fiancee Caroline (played by Kasia Smutniak).
The otherwise quietly exciting secret life of James Reese takes a completely different turn once he finally gets his big break from his CIA contact who assigns him a CIA special agent as a partner, Charlie Wax. Wax is an uncouth, misbehaving yet effective agent, played by multi-awarded actor John Travolta.
John Travolta’s sudden appearance in this movie is enough to get the viewers excited, as it is certain that the twists and turns of the storyline are about to begin. Travolta carries his character’s obnoxious and rude personality all the way through the action scenes with his classic style and flair.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
The entire movie is filled with action scenes and moments where you need to keep watching to see what happens next. The character of James Reese takes on drastic changes as he uncovers the truth of his life piece by piece, and he ends up becoming almost as tough and soundly determined as his uncouth mentor, Charlie Wax.
