From the Director of Taken Comes John Travolta's Latest Bear Antihero
Though The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3 didn't perform to expectations, John Travolta is not going to be dissuaded: He's got another installment of his "goateed anger bear" action movies ready to go, and this one -- From Paris with Love -- is from the director of spring hit Taken. So how does the trailer look?
A little bit generic, to be honest. Maybe we've all been spoiled by the Taken trailer (which was beautifully cut within an inch of its life and definitely a prime motivator for the film's sleeper success), but this looks like your standard Jason Statham Euro thriller and not much more. There's no more frisson when John Travolta drops the f-bomb, people -- not when he already asked an audience this summer to "lick my bunghole" (and the audience wisely declined).
VERDICT: Pass.

It's not really Travolta's fault. He has two headshots> One as "Normal John" and one as "Goateed Anger Bear John". He just seems to book more with the second one these days.
I think this face is "my prince albert is caught in my zipper"
It looks more like "I'm about to kneel down in front of that glory hole."
