From Paris with Love Reviews
August 2, 2012
The goatee-sporting, shaven-headed Travolta throws himself around with gusto, and the action is bruising and bloody, but to a viewer on this side of La Manche, the film's casually racist attitude to its non-white characters is shocking.

...a workable premise that's squandered from the word go...

If you like a violent, silly, frenetic style of film you'll find plenty to enjoy here.

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.

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.
June 11, 2010
It's both a classic mismatched buddy action movie transplanted to Paris and a French idea of an American action movie abroad.

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 attempts to reimagine John Travolta as a potty-mouthed soldier of fortune who's not only stock but dated.
February 26, 2010
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.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

Itâ(TM)s not enough to allow the film to rise above its guilty-until-proven-innocent conception of justice. Reprehensible, then, but what fun!
