Ayo! Scott's Premature Evaluation: From Paris With Love

Complex's resident film critic reviews the new John Travolta action flick based on nothing more than the trailer. Who has time for a screening?

None


Complex film critic Ayo! Scott can't be bothered with screenings, so he's reviewing movies based on the trailer alone.

From Paris With Love, based on a story by kick-ass French auteur Luc Besson and directed by Pierre Morel (check out his credentials here), is without a doubt John Travolta's best worst movie in years. Word to your woman running her fingers through his hair, Ayo! Scott doesn't know shit about going bald, but he imagines that it must fill a man with rage—the kind of rage that Johnny T, who's finally accepted that hair plugs make him look like a butt plug and shaved his gigantic dome, channels into Charlie Waxman, a badass American agent in gay Paris whose white pecker tingles whenever he shoots Asians and Middle Easterners just for living. Or maybe he's just pissed off because Jonathan Rhys Meyers, who plays his pansy partner, can't do a fucking American accent for a whole movie without a wee bet o' Ireland poking through. Either way, Travolta's acting is as subtle as the bazooka Waxman carries to deal with penile insecurities, and it makes Morel's action flick, which is more tongue in cheek than a tossed salad, a fiery hot mess. In a good way. Check out the trailer for yourself below to see what Ayo! is talking about...
