Action-thriller about a US diplomatic aide (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) in Paris who dreams of being given a proper assignment by the CIA. His wish comes true when he is saddled with a new partner, a high-risk, wise-cracking, trigger-happy spy played by John Travolta.
From the director of Taken, written and produced by the French master of bullet-crazed-action, Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Transporter, Léon).
Just awful. Nowhere near as good as the usual Luc Besson produced French action movies with a Hollywood feel (like the director's excellent "District B13" and the not too bad "Taken" and the Besson produced TRANSPORTER series.) This just sucks. Dull, uninspired, predictable and incredibly racist, sexist etc etc. One star for Travolta having the b*lls to finally reveal that he's been bald for decades now - and you know what? He looks just fine!
helo from da lslands again, i got dis movie out for my lovely ladies but its da actions ones, not da love movies, da travoltas was still da grease lightings in dis ones, i like da old schools dey are da sexy ones.
Travolta at his best, a brilliant fast paced flick, lots of fun great one liners at times i thought the director should have kept it a little more real. Good plot, NOt too complicated but still keeps you guessing at times about the big T and his motives. This movie delivers a great cinema experience.
the volume on many of the showings is much too loud. Please is it possible to adjust it down a little. Sometimes we have come out after a good film with our ears ringing. It seems to be a commom complaint and needs seeing too.
An entertaining film. Alot of violence, no where near as good as TAKEN (the directors previous NZ release)... but if you like you action, with abit of humour, dont care to much for a deep story. Enjoy the 90 minutes... I did... When I want my serious drama, I will go to a serious drama, but this filled the spot
I hasten to say this is not criticism of John Travolta. He succeeds in this movie by essentially acting in a movie of his own.
It’s absolute nonsense, of course, but does quite nicely as knockabout Friday night fun. We can smell a sequel if Travolta can be bothered.
Travolta has/is a blast in an action-thriller-comedy that otherwise comes up short.
I am ashamed to admit that this empty-headed, preposterous, possibly evil mélange of gunplay and high-speed car chases on Parisian boulevards is a feel-good movie that produces a buzz.
Travolta gets to do what Travolta does best in this action thriller from the team who brought us Taken, writer Luc Besson and director Pierre Morel.
We've been told the NZ release date for this flick is Thursday, 25th Feb 2010.
