John Travolta is my favorite actor he is a very talented person . he is what they say in show buisness as a triple threat ,so keep your opinions about him to yourself so there.

Pretty harsh, Kim. Not every critic is loved by readers, mind you. But this review I did enjoy! =D
I saw this movie opening night (surprisingly not many people were in the theater for the 10:30pm showing at Regal..). We felt like watching a movie, especially an action/comedy. I expected more.. But I did like Travolta’s character overall. I felt like they really intensifyed his action scenes to appear more extreme- I think in reality he had a hard time moving, tumbling, etc that they had to shake up the camera. I just felt the craving of MORE ACTION the whole time. Is that strange? Maybe I was comparing it to The Transporter..? Sometimes I just want raw fight scenes with no guns and a good camera shot for it. This movie just made it feel more fake with the angles and take on fighting, THOUGH that could have just been the style and nothing to do with how old Travolta is.
There were some scenes that were fairly lame, very predictable plot, and the ending was a laugh- at how stupid it was. We started to compare it to Rush Hour with how they ended their movies.. debated which was a better ending, etc. I would say to rent this film- It’s nothing special but is interesting to see. I like Travolta very much. I do not know why they chose this actor to star with him..

…will see From Paris With Love, tomorrow; but if it’s anything like Taken…well, that was one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Liam Neeson was completely miscast…and his dyed black hair was as bad as I’ve seen.

I too love your review…….hysterical and entertaining. Now I will watch the movie for a dollar and laugh at those who spend more and are regretful immediately.

“Stone Cold Austin Powers” cracked me up! Love your writing style, too, but I have to disagree on some points. I can’t understand your Travolta prejudice. Are you secretly in love with Kelly Preston? Travolta is definitely hit or miss, but not consistently bad. Haven’t seen FPWL yet, but I enjoy Luc Besson movies. La Femme Nikita, The Professional, and The Transporter movies are all great, and watching The Fifth Element always cheers me up after a bad day. Believe it not I’m female and I love watching stuff blow up and bad guys gettin’ their due! Those of us who have busy, problem-solving, task-oriented days don’t enjoy preachy, message-oriented, philosophying BS; we need escapist movie time.

Travolta can act any role any time better than any actor of his generation, past or present. The man is a genius and no one gives him enough credit. Bad mouth him all you want but he is the best! I hope he never stops making movies!

HI, I have been wondering how does a average person go about conacting a producer regarding an idea for a film? Is there a way to do this, on the legit? If so could you please advise. I am not in it for the money, just want to see a movie made from my suggestion. thanks sally

Travolta is a splendid actor. I haven’t seen this film yet, and most likely will only see it on DVD. As far as your review goes, keep it down to one to two paragraphs.

I loved Taken. I never thought of Liam Neelson as a bad ass until that movie. This movie is no Taken but still entertnaining.
These kind of movies are my own guilty pleasures. My wife gets to watch “House Wives of so and so” or some VH1 show. And I get to watch things blow up.
