Synopsis:
A personal aide to the US Ambassador in France, James Reese
(Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) has an enviable life in Paris and a beautiful
French girlfriend, but his real passion is his side job as a low level
operative for the CIA. All James wants to do it become a bona fide
agent and see some real action. So when he is offered his first senior
level assignment, he can’t believe his good luck – until he meets his
new partner, special agent Charlie Wax (John Travolta). A
trigger-happy, wisecracking, loose cannon who’s been sent to Paris to
stop a terrorist attack, Wax leads James on a white knuckled shooting
spree through the Parisian underworld that has James praying for his
desk job. But when James discovers he’s a target for the same crime
ring they’re trying to bust, he realizes there’s no turning back…and
that Wax himself might be his only hope for making it through the next
forty eight hours alive.
