From Paris with Love (M3)

Spoiler alert
This movie was of interest to me because I am writing a terrorist oriented thriller.
The relationship between James and Caroline was believable only on the basis of Caroline's looks. When she turned out to be a terrorist and when Jame ended up killing her, it was not all that difficult to believe and also not very upsetting, which it should have been if this were a movie about real characters rather than characters built on a sketch pad with a crayon. Travolta's character is good enough, but he just is not enough to sustain a movie on his own and his love for Burger Royale's a reference to his line in Pulp Fiction, again asserts the two dimensionality of his character. There is plenty of action and it moves easily enough but this movie cannot get a thumbs up and I give it a C.
