One of the most recent action packed movie productions of 2010, From Paris with Love keeps its audience riveted and clinging to their seats. The fast paced, high energy roles of its main stars keep the heartbeat at a speedy rate all throughout the movie.
One of the main characters, James Reese, is played by Golden Globe Best Actor award winner Jonathan Rhys Meyers. The character James Reese is the personal aide assisting the U. S. Ambassador to France, and his dedication to his work has the Ambassador's full trust and confidence in his flawless efficiency.
However, Reese is also ambitious and willing to play his own quiet game of cat and mouse as he takes on minor assignments from the CIA, attempting to become an official CIA agent someday. His job as an aide allows for him to use his influence in some of the assignments given, and he is restless to succeed in his goal to be part of the CIA. His fiancee, Caroline (Kasia Smutniak), knows everything about him and he trusts her completely with his secrets, especially since the assignments sometimes take him away from her at unexpected hours.
Thinking that he may be up for that real CIA promotion to agent, Reese accepts another assignment wherein he is given a partner (played by established actor, John Travolta). Reese does not realize how his life is about to take a very drastic turn the moment he meets up with his partner, Charlie Wax.
John Travolta does justice to this movie as his grand appearance as an uncouth, misbehaving but effective CIA agent takes control and the action scenes start pumping. The movie takes a sudden fast paced vibration as Charlie Wax begins to take his mission on a roll.
From smuggling a gun past airport security officials, to killing off goons in a Chinese restaurant connected to a drug supply ring, Wax shows Reese a very different side to the otherwise dignified concept of a CIA agent. This is where Reese starts to learn that not all secret agents are as suave and smooth as James Bond, as his new partner is the complete picture of all that is not ideal.
Wax proceeds to attack one drug den after another, telling Reese he is on a special "offline" mission for a high government official whose daughter was a victim of the drug ring. After making it obvious that he is after something deeper, Reese finally manages to get Wax to tell him the actual truth about the mission.
In actuality, the cocaine trail leads to an underground circle of terrorists plotting to infiltrate the U. S. Embassy. Reese is shocked to find that a very active player in this circle of subversives is his own fiancee who had been specifically chosen to glean intelligence from Reese, betraying his trust in her.
The entire story comes full circle when a suicide bomber actually succeeds in making it into the U. S. Embassy in the guise of a delegate attending a summit. It also reaches its climax when Reese comes to the conclusion that it is his fiancee who has been chosen to die for the cause.
The movie takes a turn towards the dramatic as Reese tries to convince Caroline not to activate the bomb, and that her life means so much more to him. Regardless she still tries to activate the bomb and Reese is compelled to shoot her point blank, killing her and watching her fall. As she falls, Wax comes up from behind and catches her, and later disarms the bomb.
The entire movie is filled with action scenes and moments where you need to keep watching to see what happens next. The character of James Reese takes on drastic changes as he uncovers the truth of his life piece by piece, and he ends up becoming almost as tough and soundly determined as his uncouth mentor, Charlie Wax.
