Title: 2 1/2 stars for an O.K. time killer
Product review: John Travolta returns and hams it up as an American agent sent to Paris to thwart a terrorist plot. Jonathan Rhys Meyers is an aide to the American ambassador and becomes Wax's (Travolta) partner. Murder and mayhem ensue. We have the usual stuff seen in this type of shoot-em-up. Wax kills scores of bad guys within minutes without getting a scratch. But of course when it comes to killing the terrorist bent on blowing up the conference, he can't get it done. Rhys Meyers seems out of his element here. He's terrific in The Tudors however!! Travolta is a hoot I will admit and the stunts and fight sequences are well done in a "Hong Kong Kung Fu" style. I think the director did a pretty good job, but the material is nothing new and that doesn't make it worth watching unless you've got nothing to do and want to kill some time and a few brain cells.
