Watch: From Paris with Love 2010 123movies, Full Movie Online – James Reece is an ambitious aide to the U.S. Ambassador in Paris, doing little jobs for the CIA and hoping to get into black ops. On the night he and his girlfriend, Caroline, become engaged, he’s told to pick up Charlie Wax at Orly. Charlie is an unorthodox government employee – large, bald and bearded, foul-mouthed and eccentric. Charlie immediately takes James on a wild ride of murder and mayhem, through ethnic enclaves. As bodies pile up, the purpose remains opaque to James. Caroline, unhappy that James has been out of touch for a day, tells him to bring Charlie for dinner. Charlie can be charming – where will it lead? Does the chess-playing James have what it takes?.
Plot: James Reese has a good job as an ambassador’s aid in France, but his real passion is a side gig—working in a minor role in the CIA. He would love to be a full-fledged agent and can’t believe his luck when he lands an assignment with Charlie Wax. Trigger-happy Charlie soon has James crying for his desk job, but when he learns that the same guys they’re trying to catch are after him, James realises that Charlie may be his only hope of survival.

Reviews:

This is my second time seeing this, first time since it was released on Blu-ray back when, and although it’s not a great action-thriller and maybe under a more capable director could have been, but I still enjoyed it especially for John Travolta while John Rhsy-Meyers was a bit milk toast, though guess you need that type of person opposite Travolta. **3.5/5**

I just saw this movie on Netflix. I usually really – and I mean _really_ like these French Canal+ co-production movies. But I guess this one is the exception to the rule.

It starts of great and then it just gets… violent for no apparent reason; “I did it 4 the lulz” Don’t get me wrong, I love guys with guns and all the violence that comes with it. But this seemed senseless.

Or so it seemed. But that end (that last…. half hour?), that was unexpected. Never saw it coming.

I feel the love for you Paris but I’m not sure that I’m getting it back.
You never know what you are going to get. With From Paris with Love, you see two distinctly different marketing strategies. One set of trailers and TV spot bills it as a hard-boiled action flick, with Travolta unleashing a fury of bullets. The other focuses on the much lesser known Jonathan Rhys-Meyers as he deals with the comedic situations placed on him through the Travolta character. If you can go in with an open mind, you’ll see that both approaches ring true for better or worse.

Our story starts with a long dose of James Reece (Jonathan Rhys Meyers). He’s the personal aid to the U.S Ambassador to France. Known for book smarts, his side task of spying for his country affords him the opportunity to place bugs and switch plates. At his flat, his girlfriend Caroline (Kasia Smutniak) has to deal with being kept in the dark. When the opportunity for more dangerous work presents itself, Reece is given a partner in the form of Charlie Wax (John Travolta). Wax is a fast-talking, trigger-happy, manic whose order to do as he pleases may just be too much for Reece.

The two J’s make for a great team. On one end you have Reece leading the audience into the underground world of mayhem while trying to keep his wits about him. On the other there is the everyman’s adrenaline junkie who may not be too old just yet. And for what it’s worth, in a throwaway action flick, there’s a genuine sense of fun in the air. However, the emphasis on mindless chaos puts a damper on the mood. There are numerous moments where the pace hiccups all the way to 11. I sure would have appreciated a briefing of sorts instead of a simple kill everyone mentality. Even with the agenda to smite the terrorists, there is an explosive moment near the end that exists for zero narrative purpose. Maybe Wax was having so much fun flirting with diegetic sound that he forgot to fire his bazooka, opting instead to save it for a more dramatic moment. You just can’t have the kill happy hero abort and purse a target at the same time.

From the director of Taken, Pierre Morel, comes a tale based on a short story from Luc Besson. I’m not sure what that’s going to mean to the average moviegoer, whether you factor in Morel’s short resume at the helm or the sporadic nature of Besson’s screenplays. What I saw from a crew standpoint was a throwback to the ’80s and ’90s action genre. Gun use doesn’t provoke bullet-time effects. You can bet Travolta has a stunt double. Most importantly you can understand what’s happening during the fights. I can’t even count how many films edit around the action these days to the point that you have no honest idea of who’s still standing. If you are sick of The Dark Knight method of shooting fists juxtaposed with fallen bodies, From Paris with Love will be a good movie for you.

Wax is a character that is unfortunately placed in the narrative’s backseat. To better understand what I’m talking about, look at Lethal Weapon. In that film the two cop buddies have a developed background. We see their homes, we see Murtaugh’s family and Riggs’ dog. Well in From Paris with Love the only character you get to know the history of or see the private love of is Reece. At 92 minutes, there certainly could have been time allotted to explore Wax, but the screenplay shuns it. Maybe some time to cool down with his side of life would have helped reduce the jerky pacing. Man, I feel the love for you Paris but I’m not sure that I’m getting it back.

Fun and over-the-top
Wildly inventive and a whole lot of fun, ‘From Paris with Love’ is a roller-coaster ride from start to end-credits. The delectable (and boy, is he delicious?) Jonathan Rhys Myers plays straight man to John Travolta’s manic, off-the-wall character. The script is funny and has some great throwaway lines (‘Wax on, Wax off’, ‘Ka-fucking-BOOM!’) , including a sly reference to Pulp Fiction that movie-buffs will love! John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys myers have so much fun with their respective roles that the plot is actually irrelevant to the running, shooting and exploderising that is going on. Don’ t think about it, just sit back and enjoy!
