US Xenophobia rules.

Rating: 5/10 (3 June 2013)

It's a good action movie as long as you don't mind a storyline that demands complete suspension of disbelief. Goodness me how dangerous Paris is - no young women can even get past the airport without becoming the instant target of kidnappers. Never mind that, in reality, girly would be in far more danger every time she goes downtown in the US. Her paranoid father is proved right within seconds of her arriving in Yurp (Europe).
Never mind that our "hero" is not above a little torture and shooting of innocent women (innocent of all but marrying a baddie - don't worry love it's only a flesh wound) in order to make his point.
Never mind that, if your travelling companion had been raped and murdered and you'd gone through a violent kidnap yourself, the last thing you'd probably feel like doing when you get home is meeting your pop idol for a jamming session, no, it's just Happy Ever After and forget the friend!
