James Reese (Jonathan Ryhs Meyers) is a cool, calm, collected and logical agent assigned to the American Embassy in France. He has been applying to be an Special Ops Agent for the CIA for quite sometime till he has been given a chance to work with CIA's top operative, Charlie Wax (Travolta). Wax on the other hand is the complete opposite of Reese as he has unorthodox ways of stopping a lot (i mean A LOT!) of bad guys.
The movie itself starts as a regular cloak and dagger film with stealth, secret phone calls, bugs, and other secretive stuff. It picks up once Travolta comes in. From there on, bullets flew, bad guys shot (fell, had broken necks, kicked in the gut, among other things), cars exploded and a whole lot of dead bodies.
I liked this movie as this is the genre I usually go see. Action-Comedy which is fast paced with almost no dull moments. It had some weird moments but it's what I come to expect from Luc Besson's movies. I'd recommend this be watched in the theater or even get a DVD of it when it comes out. I'd like to watch it a couple more times (like what I still do with the Taxi series) sitting at home with a bowl full of popcorn and a cold soda.
