While watching this, the latest trailer from Pierre Morel’s French actioner FROM PARIS WITH LOVE, I thought “Man, we’ve seen this story about a million times now!” – A by-the-book rookie teams up with a loose canon bald guy wielding a bazooka, bad guys with accents get exploded, world gets saved, and oh hey a fine young lass.
But as with any story, it’s all in the telling. And Pierre Morel’s last two efforts – DISTRICT B13 and TAKEN – showed some really mean and intense Euro action (with scripting aid from mentor Luc Besson). PARIS seems to want to continue that streak, and I hope it does.
Below are two new images from the movie’s official Facebook page, and below them you can check out the new trailer (or head over to Apple to check it in HD).
FROM PARIS WITH LOVE opens wide on February 5th.
