Review: From Paris With Love (15)

Director Pierre Morel returns to the scene of previous cinematic crimes for this explosive tour of the French capital in the company of two mismatched American agents on a quest to dismantle a terrorist cell.

Morel's last film, Taken, at least had the sense to cast Liam Neeson, an actor with gravitas, in the lead role of a father seeking justice. Here, he's lumbered with handsome yet inexpressive Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and John Travolta, an actor who has never been on speaking terms with subtlety.
