A personal aide to the U.S. Ambassador in France, James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low-level operative for the CIA. All James wants is to become a bona fide agent and see some real action. So when he's offered his first senior-level assignment, he can't believe his good luck - until he meets his new partner, special agent Charlie Wax (John Travolta). A trigger-happy, wisecracking, loose cannon who's been sent to Paris to stop a terrorist attack, Wax leads James on a white-knuckle shooting spree through the Parisian underworld that has James praying for his desk job. But when James discovers he's a target of the same crime ring they're trying to bust, he realizes there's no turning back...and that Wax himself might be his only hope for making it through the next forty-eight hours alive.This is one of those movies where its as if they someone were able to transfer testosterone to film and then shoot it up there on the screen. This is literally a shoot em up movie. They basically go to one place, shoot the crap out of it, go somewhere else, shoot the crap out of that place, go somehwere else . . . . . and you pretty much get the drift. John Travolta is funny as the bad ass and there is a little bit of a story line thrown in there for you to follow but its essentially 90 minutes of shooting stuff.
I would recommend this movie to action junkies. I am sure that you would love it. Its not quality across the board by any means but is 90 minutes of satisfactory action.
