CRITIC	RATING	QUOTE
Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert	5	From Paris with CGI.
E! Luke Y. Thompson	6	...it's nigh-impossible to take the movie seriously, so just enjoy the destruction.
filmcritic.com Jason Morgan	5	...the film's fun is muddled by inconsistent directing and poor plotting...
New York Post Kyle Smith	3	...the movie illustrates how boring it is to deliver all screech and no suspense, takedown without buildup, pure slam, bam, merci madame.
Slant Magazine Ed Gonzalez	5	...settles for routine and goes through the motions...
Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman	5	...a ''fun trash'' movie that's more trash than fun.
New York Times Stephen Holden	7	I am ashamed to admit that this empty-headed, preposterous, possibly evil mélange of gunplay and high-speed car chases on Parisian boulevards is a feel-good movie that produces a buzz.
People Oliver Jones	6	...mostly lots of fun, thanks to Travolta.
Village Voice Nick Pinkerton	5	...lobotomized entertainment...
Onion AV Club Scott Tobias	6	...insomniac viewing, coming soon to a 2 a.m. pay-cable slot near you.
Variety Andrew Barker	4	Presumably pitched as a fusion of Training Day and Crank 2 -- but ultimately nowhere near as fun as that premise probably sounds -- From Paris With Love practically strains itself to avoid doing anything the slightest bit innovative or clever.

John Travolta is tiring to watch. I got bored with it half way through and had to resist turning it off. Some interesting action though.
