Chicago – John Travolta always seems to be in a perpetual state of “coming back.” His various attempts at reinventing his screen persona seem to be driven less by artistic integrity than commercial desperation. The more macho and foul-mouthed he tries to be, the less convincing he is.
While Woody Harrelson has jump-started his career by mastering the art of tongue-in-cheek bravado, Travolta hasn’t even graduated into the realm of middle-aged hipness. It’s saying something when the best role of Travolta’s career in the last decade was Edna Turnblatt in “Hairspray.” “From Paris With Love” is easily his most unimaginative star vehicle since “Be Cool.” While that film paired Travolta and Uma Thurman just so they could dance again, this picture plants Travolta in “The City of Lights,” just so he can declare that his vice is still a “Royale With Cheese.” Emphasis on the cheese.
