You gotta admit John Travolta is one helluva charismatic actor.
His old school style and energy takes you by the cuffs on this rag-tag ride of a movie.
The story goes like this. Meyers works in american embassy in paris as an assistant to the ambassador, but aspires to be a field agent of secret service. His is a life of roses, a beautiful girlfriend, chess playing boss and high paying job. But his aspirations take him to do minion jobs for secret service like changing no. plates of designated cars of agents.
One day he gets a call that changes his smooth life and turns it upside down. He was asked to chauffeur around one top agent (Travolta) and escort him around the city.
And then the story takes you the interesting by lanes of paris with one surprise after another. What is the agent upto, is he telling meyers truth, is he on some personal vendetta, or is he following orders. will meyers life remain the same ??
You gotta watch the movie for that.
Jonathan meyers worked commendably. But the movie rotates around Travolta. He is the one to look out for.
And finally some words for that driver in the climactic car chase.Dude you deserve a separate movie all to yourself maybe something like SPEED ..... !!
Purely for the action buffs. Go watch it.
Rating: ***.1/2
