Preview: From Paris with Love (2010)

Synopsis:

The FBI brings in an inexperienced US Ambassador's office employee to assist an American spy looking to stop a terrorist attack on Paris.

• Poster: B; C

Review:

What is most interesting is the image itself, the white background is fairly bland and the lettering is far from notable, but by superimposing the Eiffel Tower over the pistol muzzle is an interesting creation that makes the poster.

The action poster motif has become as stale as the genre itself. Much like the trailer's presented vision of the film, this poster is action-like, but lacking in substance or originality.

• Trailer: C-; C-

Review:

This looks like every other espionage-based potboiler ever made. There's nothing inventive, original or exciting presented here, but it should appeal to a mid-range sized audience.

Making this look just as pointless and unoriginal as the first trailer, we're treated to a new presentation of the same material hoping to make it look more exciting.

Oscar Prospects:

None
