One of the most recent action packed movie productions of 2010, From Paris with Love keeps its audience riveted and clinging to their seats. The fast paced, high energy roles of its main stars keep the heartbeat at a speedy rate all throughout the movie.
One of the main characters, James Reese, is played by Golden Globe Best Actor award winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The character James Reese is the personal aide assisting the U. S. Ambassador to France, and his dedication to his work has the Ambassador's full trust and confidence in his flawless efficiency.
Reese is blessed with a good job and a loving fiancee, Caroline, which is played by actress Kasia Smutniak, whom he trusts with his ambition to become a CIA agent. Reese keeps an extra side job taking on minor assignments from the CIA, which he performs quite well since he knows his way around the diplomatic circles.
The otherwise quietly exciting secret life of James Reese takes a completely different turn once he finally gets his big break from his CIA contact who assigns him a CIA special agent as a partner, Charlie Wax. Wax is an uncouth, misbehaving yet effective agent, played by multi-awarded actor John Travolta.
John Travolta does justice to this movie as his grand appearance as an uncouth, misbehaving but effective CIA agent takes control and the action scenes start pumping. The movie takes a sudden fast paced vibration as Charlie Wax begins to take his mission on a roll.
Wax enters the scene with his rude behavior toward French customs officials as he inadvertently gets detained for canned health drinks (it is discovered later that these cans are containers for a concealed weapon). Reese finds his hands full when Wax insists he get him past customs with all canned drinks intact, and refuses to leave without them, calling the French officers all sorts of names and insults. The scene ends with Reese finding a better approach to the situation by giving the canned items a diplomatic pouch status.
Once in the city, Reese finds that his partner is not like any agent he has ever imagined, and Wax proves this to him time and again as he shoots and bombards his way into drug dens and alleyways to complete his mission. Explaining that his mission is but a simple drug syndicate bust assigned by an angry government official, Wax takes on drug lords and goons with precision and timing, but always with noise.
The truth is finally revealed when Wax tells Reese about his real purpose, which is to find a group of terrorists that has a plot to bomb the U. S. Embassy in France, and are apparently being financed by sales of cocaine. It is later on that Reese finally learns that his fiancee also plays a role and is a member of this terrorist group, willing to die for a cause.
Caroline turns out to be the suicide bomber who manages to infiltrate the U. S. Embassy during a summit, and she mingles with the crowd with planned accuracy, waiting for the perfect time. Reese then realizes that it is his fiancee who has used his pass to gain access to the U. S. Embassy, and tries to make his way in through security to stop her.
The movie takes a turn towards the dramatic as Reese tries to convince Caroline not to activate the bomb, and that her life means so much more to him. Regardless she still tries to activate the bomb and Reese is compelled to shoot her point blank, killing her and watching her fall. As she falls, Wax comes up from behind and catches her, and later disarms the bomb.
The entire movie is filled with action scenes and moments where you need to keep watching to see what happens next. The character of James Reese takes on drastic changes as he uncovers the truth of his life piece by piece, and he ends up becoming almost as tough and soundly determined as his uncouth mentor, Charlie Wax. - 40724
