If you like a violent, silly, frenetic style of film you'll find plenty to enjoy here.
Is the movie worth seeing as a travelogue? Only if you are (a) a masochist, (b) a terrorist, or (c) desperate.
Crushing dull repetition that makes one noisy, violent scene play exactly like the last one.
The bazooka was as subtle and witty as the movie.
For better or worse, From Paris With Love is an effective stimulant.
...a workable premise that's squandered from the word go...
Suddenly I'm nostalgic for Battlefield Earth.
It's stupid, it's unoriginal, and it makes very little sense... but that's not all bad.
Travolta stuffs it up, again.
Lacking any compelling style, attitude or storytelling.
A fun, over the top action movie that doesn't care that it's stupid and over the top.
Not even the pleasures inherent in watching John Travolta mug it up as a gonzo CIA operative bent on breaking things and killing people... are sufficient recompense for sitting through this by-the-numbers slog from the fevered brain of Luc Besson
Morel's underrated eye and knack for making kinetic movement rhythmic and easy to follow elevates Besson's run-of-the-mill, mismatched-buddy thriller into a propulsive, enjoyably Eurotrashy entertainment.
It's both a classic mismatched buddy action movie transplanted to Paris and a French idea of an American action movie abroad.
A solid audio/video presentation on this From Paris with Love DVD almost makes Pierre Morel's latest worth a rental.
With a screenwriter formerly of the Israeli Airborne Defense Forces, this is the kind of sour anti-terror travelogue where you're set up to howl on cue when bearded or burka clad Arab insurgents are preemptively shot in the head or blown to smithereens.

Action fans are likely to be as giddy as the perma-grinning Travolta.
A blistering pace, a certifiable performance from Travolta and a delicious body count.
From Paris with Love is exactly the kind of mindless entertainment that we've come to expect from [Luc Besson].
%u0160kolski primjer "stare %u0161kole" ameri%u010Dkog akcijskog filma 80-ih, a koja je promovirala jednostavan crno-bijeli pogled na svijet
From Paris with Love attempts to reimagine John Travolta as a potty-mouthed soldier of fortune who's not only stock but dated.
Itâ(TM)s absolute nonsense, of course, but does quite nicely as knockabout Friday night fun. We can smell a sequel if Travolta can be bothered.
