The film simplifies Winston Churchill’s legacy for the dubious purposes of narrative momentum and emotional lift.
Forgiving the film’s flippantly anti-secular, anti-science attitude, it nonetheless remains a wasteful, largely risible endeavor.
A solid audio/video presentation on this From Paris with Love DVD almost makes Pierre Morel’s latest worth a rental.
The title is ironic, as Paris is transformed from City of Love to City of Bloodlust, and it portends a series of role reversals scattered throughout the film.
