My first introduction to Pierre Morel was with the high octane District B13. He followed it up with the laughable yet entertaining Taken and his work with my Favourite French Dude continues with his newest film, a buddy action film titled From Paris With Love.
Though it might be a titled after a Bond film, Morel’s film is nothing of the sort. There appear to be no mysteries, no drama, just lots of heart pounding action as Jonathan Rhys Meyers, a young employee in the office of the US Ambassador, teams up with an American spy, played by John Travolta, to save Paris from a terrorist attack.
It looks mindless, over the top and completely awesome and the fact that they’ve squeeze Meyers into a role in an action film tickles me silly. Yes, I’ll gladly hand over my $12. If it provides half the fun of either of Morel’s previous films, it’ll be well worth it.
From Paris With Love opens on February 5, 2010.
Trailer is tucked under the seat!
