From Paris With Love

This movie tells about the newly recruited secret agent, Reese (Jonathan Rhys Myers) who is working for the United States Ambassador in Paris. Part of him being the Ambassador’s personal assistant, it turns out that he has been recruited as a secret agent by the U.S Department of Defense. His first job was to change a license number of an operation car that will be used by a more senior secret agent. He successfully nailed that easy job. His second task was even harder; he got to set a bug/ recording device at office of the Foreign Minister of France while at the same time attending a meeting along with the ambassador, after several attempts he finally set the device.
Now, the real action began when he was told to pick up Charles Wax (John Travolta) at the custom’s office in the airport who turns out to be the best secret agent who was sent to wipe-off terrorist chain in Paris. His slogan was Wax-On, Wax-Off. All the guns fire, butt-kicking action and bomb blast comes after he joined him finishing the tasks. The action happened at the Chinese restaurant, which turns out to be a kokain dealer spot, Chinese factory, slumdog apartment, rooftop, highways, and almost everywhere.
Here we could see that the newly recruited, Reese, still has the beginner’s nerve breakdown while holding a gun, and even to make his first shot, who in the end belongs to his fiancĂ©e.
Overall, it was a good movie, filled with action and blast, and some jokes during the assignment and recommended for the action-thirst movie goers.
