The Luc Besson-backed explosion of middle-aged Hollywood actors seeking to reclaim former glories has also been dubbed “the Liam Neeson effect”, with many of the Taken star’s contemporaries hoping to reinvent themselves as grizzled badasses, and John Travolta was quick to hop on the bandwagon when From Paris with Love landed in February 2010.
Set in France? Check. Pierre Morrel behind the camera? Check. Besson producing and helping crack the story? Double check. Academy Award-nominated leading man? Yep, that’s all the boxes ticked. Unfortunately for Travolta’s stab at late-career action heroism, From Paris with Love turned out to be a crushing critical and commercial disappointment.
