|
|
Morel will inevitably be compared to John Woo, whom he trounces. He has fewer mannerisms (no damn doves) and a keener eye; his fastest, most kinetic shots flow together like frames in a flipbook.

You've never seen Travolta like this. Do not consider that to be a compliment.

He (Morel) brings in lobotomized entertainment at 90-odd minutes. During the February doldrums, this cannot be underestimated.

|
Travolta has/is a blast in an action-thriller-comedy that otherwise comes up short.
Feb 02, 2010
|
|
What might have been a fairly standard buddy comedy is elevated by a hilariously irreverent performance by Travolta and Morel's knack for creating exciting action pieces.
Feb 02, 2010
|
To his credit, Travolta hams it up with the kind of laissez-faire irony that might have made the film a tongue-in-cheek pleasure, had his attitude extended to the filmmakers.

|
John Travolta kicks that pesky schizophrenic script out of his way to serve up yet another, perfectly entertaining badass.
Feb 03, 2010
|
The biggest thing standing in the way of From Paris with Love achieving even that standard is the laughable casting.
Feb 01, 2010
|
|
This is Travolta's most enjoyable and energetic performance since Pulp Fiction and Primary Colors, and he's a blast to watch.
Feb 03, 2010
|
Mildly diverting but entirely forgettable.
