From Paris with Love (2010)



In Paris, a young employee in the office of the US Ambassador hooks up with an American spy looking to stop a terrorist attack in the city.

Top-end production using the plot as an excuse for an endless series of mayhem.

Maltin **1/2: "Utterly preposterous action-adventure can be savored as an over-the-top guilty pleasure, thanks to TAKEN director Morel's pedal-to-medal pacing...Genuinely surprising plot twist at the two-thirds mark leads to an unexpectedly potent finale."
