From Paris with Love is a 2010 English-language French action thriller film directed by Pierre Morel and starring John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers.

James Reese, a personal aide to the U.S. ambassador in France, lives comfortably in Paris with his girlfriend Caroline, but his real passion is his side job as a low-level operative for the CIA.

Wax then explains that he has been sent to Paris to investigate a Triad drug ring, indirectly responsible for the death of the niece of the Secretary of Defense.

During the investigation, Wax raids a Triad run restaurant and warehouse, where he reveals that his true objective is to trace money back to a circle of Pakistani terrorists.

Caroline plans to detonate an explosive vest at the summit while the other remaining terrorist speeds towards a U.S. motorcade in an attempted suicide attack, although Wax destroys the vehicle with a rocket launcher just in time.

The two play a game of chess on the tarmac, placing their handguns on a utility cart, Reese revealing that he is now carrying a Desert Eagle pistol, and Wax welcomes him to the club as his partner.

The site’s critical consensus states, "Though not without its charms—chief among them John Travolta's endearingly over-the-top performance—From Paris with Love is too muddled and disjointed to satisfy.

"[2] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave it one star out of four, stating, "From Paris with Love has no vital signs at all, just crushing dull repetition that makes one noisy, violent scene play exactly like the last one.
