Is the action unbelievable? Yes. Does it matter? No.
Finally, an action film whose “bad guys” aren’t our own people! Travolta chews up the scenery in this action flick from “Taken”s Luc Besson.
The action is great, plot’s ok..but the main part I love about this is that FINALLY we are the good guys again. Travolta is a wild CIA agent that gets the job done. (and how!) The main “bad guys”? A Muslim terrorist cell in France plotting a suicide bombing. A story line that finally reflects our times. France has many problems with their radical Muslim population, but for the most part the news media ignores it. (wouldn’t want to portray terrorists as..uh terrorists now would we? That wouldn’t be politically correct, we all know the only terrorists are white southern extremist tea party folks!)
For a nice diversion where you can really root for the “good guys” again. I highly recommend this flick!
