Shooting

From Paris With Love (2010)

John Travolta stars in this European based film from the Luc Besson stable of action films. An American embassy aide ends on a roller-coaster of action and violence when he gets a new partner on a mission to do something or other.

This film rockets a long at a fairly fast pace from one action sequence to another which is fairly important because if you have time to stop and think you are going to realise that the plot does not seem to make much sense. We lurch from one shoot out to the next with out much reason seeming to connect them, it does feel like several scenes were lost on the cutting room floor that would link up the film much better. While the action sequences are fairly average the direction and performance of Travolta manage to keep moving the plot along in such a way as to cover over the cracks fairly well.

2/5 standard mindless action movie.
