To his credit, Travolta hams it up with the kind of laissez-faire irony that might have made the film a tongue-in-cheek pleasure, had his attitude extended to the filmmakers.
Full reviewAction-thriller about a US diplomatic aide (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) in Paris who dreams of being given a proper assignment by the CIA. His wish comes true when he is saddled with a new partner, a high-risk, wise-cracking, trigger-happy spy played by John Travolta.
From the director of Taken, written and produced by the French master of bullet-crazed-action, Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Transporter, Léon).

Full reviewTravolta and Meyers do all that’s required of them in another Besson B-movie blow-out. No brain required, but to be fair, twice as entertaining as many films with double the budget.
Full reviewI am ashamed to admit that this empty-headed, preposterous, possibly evil mélange of gunplay and high-speed car chases on Parisian boulevards is a feel-good movie that produces a buzz.
Full reviewI hasten to say this is not criticism of John Travolta. He succeeds in this movie by essentially acting in a movie of his own.
Full reviewTravolta gets to do what Travolta does best in this action thriller from the team who brought us Taken, writer Luc Besson and director Pierre Morel.
Full reviewA crime not just against cinema but all of humanity, it’s been a long, long time since a movie made me this mad. Half a Star (my worst Film3 rating ever).
Full reviewTravolta has/is a blast in an action-thriller-comedy that otherwise comes up short.
Full reviewIt’s absolute nonsense, of course, but does quite nicely as knockabout Friday night fun. We can smell a sequel if Travolta can be bothered.
