Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Dusan Petrovic This movie is about dying wish and lust for dangerous living, where love always comes on the second place. In the midle of story is the battle against Pakistan terrorism in Paris. I don't like this kind of stories where nothing is new, especially when a beutiful girl gets the bullet between the eyes. I mean Travolta is really the great, but everything looks like the same old La femme Nikita, which is coming back all over again and so on and so for.

asus-kybd Travolta plays (once again) a complete psycho BUT he's really not acting cause he's a psycho in every action flick he plays in. Which makes sense I guess cause patrons will get what they expect with one of John's films. Stating the sedate Reese (a throwback to the Terminator character?) is his ideal partner seemed a stretch to me. I just have one question they were not clear on: When the girl was called on the phone and called "Rose" by the stranger.... was that some of their CIA buddies tipping them off? Other than that, it's a good rental BUT you won't remember it. Because I saw it in 2011 I think, then again last night and didn't remember it at all.

statuskuo ...whenever he is out of control and in charge of his world, it's hard not to like him. He's smug, violent loud and American in a world that despises all of that to which we embrace. I don't think snobs would enjoy this movie, as it boils down all your most ridiculous fears about terrorism, drugs, and gangs into the simplest form of targets. It's not for the intellectual, it's for venting. And if you approach it with that idea of fun, you can go along with the outrageous set up.I absolutely had fun watching this film. Pierre Morel is very capable of stunt coordination without it just being non-sensical. Everything is amp'd up but plausible. He balances it out with a warm look at Paris. And it's idiosyncratic characters. He stretches the love of its people and also the things that drive him nuts (bureaucracy).Not so when Travolta comes in like a bull and takes charge. It's a cartoon to be sure.

juneebuggy Yeah this was pretty terrible, I fell asleep watching it and then couldn't be bothered to go back and finish it because I' d seen it all before and just didn't care. A semi entertaining move dubbed as "an explosive thriller" that follows a desk-bound CIA agent (Jonathan Rhys Myers), who is suddenly given a big-time assignment by the agency and must team up with lone wolf (John Travolta) to stop a terrorist bombing.Filled with non-stop (but unremarkable) action scenes Travolta is Mr. tough cool guy and I hated his character -granted he does a decent enough job but I kept thinking Jason Statham would have been great in this role. And while I'm a fan of JRM this is probably the worst acting job I have seen from him, a wishy-washy character with a bad American accent. I honestly didn't "get" that he was an intelligence officer either until I read the synopsis, his position was never really explained. 7/1/14
