      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Thought not without its charms -- chief among them John Travolta's endearingly over-the-top performance -- From Paris with Love is too muddled and disjointed to satisfy.

      Audience Member Entertaining! A little rough on the edges, but heck it is relic from a specific time in history. Still entertaining Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/28/24 Full Review J.P. F It was surprisingly good. Travolta was actually really good and I like that he went with a new look for this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/24 Full Review Thomas K Nice little action-flick and Travolta rocks it from start to end. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Nigel B A real so so movie just because it has a big name doesn't mean it's good Loads of action most rather silly and not believable and no real decent storyline to nail the action to. You end up fast forwarding and when you get to the end it's a relief One to aviod it's not worth the effort Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/03/24 Full Review Nick K Good action film from 10s, for one time, not more Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/31/23 Full Review DayBro In my opinion this film is good and interesting movie for evening. Script, video, sound all is good, it is classical, but qualitative action. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online Aside from a generic plot twist and a little clever banter between the two fellas, From Paris With Love fails to deliver the excitement to which the trailer alludes. Rated: C Sep 11, 2017 Full Review Laremy Legel Film.com If you like a violent, silly, frenetic style of film you'll find plenty to enjoy here. Rated: B- May 6, 2011 Full Review Nick Schager Lessons of Darkness Lacking any compelling style, attitude or storytelling. Rated: C- Jun 21, 2010 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The most underdeveloped character... remains Paris. Why set a movie in the City of Lights if you aren’t going to exploit it for everything it’s worth? The movie could’ve been called “From Cleveland with Love” and no one would’ve known the difference. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) The velocity is hypnotic and Pierre Morel is the magician in this sleight of hand. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 19, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins There's never a break to build character, a pause to appreciate a joke, or cessations in the franticness to allow for explanations. Rated: 4/10 Nov 29, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
