Worse than Travolta’s bald look

from

“From Paris with Love” is one of those bland, modern action movies with a non-existent plot, some hot women and really fast editing.

Even in a junk movie like this, something extraordinary typically does happen, but here the camera swivels and cuts just enough to make it look that way as Travolta stands in the center of the chaos.

The difference is this movie doesn’t fully take itself seriously – but there’s nothing clever about the MF word, nor is there with Travolta eating a Royale with cheese.

The entire supporting cast is shockingly wooden and artificial, possibly to emphasize the work of Travolta, who would steal the show if his dialogue weren’t so forced. Case in point: even when your character is named Charlie Wax, “Wax on, Wax off,” is not a good intimidating catch phrase.
