… From Paris with Love’

“From Paris with Love” – the title alone invokes thoughts of James Bond dangling from the Eiffel Tower in a tuxedo, winking at a blonde as he dispatches an evil genius.
If only. Talk about your bait and switch – instead, we get a bald John Travolta shooting up the City of Lights as he fights terrorism, a guy whose idea of romance is a quickie in the bathroom with a prostitute.
Charlie Wax, you see, doesn’t play by the rules. Or maybe he plays outside the lines. Or the rules don’t apply to him. Whatever. You know the type – he’s a spy that the government doesn’t want to rein in because, no matter how unorthodox (and dangerous) his methods, he always gets the job done. The bad guys can shoot at him with submachine guns all the livelong day and he’ll never suffer so much as a scratch. Because, you know, he’s Charlie Wax.
