Out this past weekend is the movie “From Paris with Love”. The movie revolves around James Reese (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) who has been doing small intelligence work for the government while maintaining his position as France’s U.S. Ambassador’s aide. His main objective is to become a full fledged Special Ops Agent. After the government feels he is ready to handle a bigger assignment, they assign him to their highest ranking Special Ops Agent, Charlie Wax (John Travolta). What they don’t tell him is that Wax is a wise cracking, take no prisoners, and by any means necessary type of guy. Their mission is to infiltrate and dismantle a possible terrorist threat upon the French embassy. He soon learns that being a Special Ops agent may be more than he is equipped to handle, especially when teamed up with this guy.

If that isn’t enough, another archangel named Gabriel (Kevin Durand) is also on his way to earth in an attempt to kill this child.
