Damn right. Both should see a massive improvement, but I suspect Alien will see the larger improvement purely because of Ridley Scott's use of visual styles..
I saw "From Paris With Love" today. This certainly isn't the love story/romcom the title makes it sound like. It's a rip roaring action thriler from the pen of Luc Besson.
Wall to Wall fights (both hand and gun), some excellent stunts and an excellent car chase all held together with a well written and believable story.
In fact the only thing that did seem a little contrived was John Travolta's character's name, which seemed to have been picked to give a reason for one of the lines. You'll know what I mean if you see it.
Even though it's a French movie, there aren't that many subtitles (if you are the type of person that hates them) as the majority of the dialog is in English.
Also, despite the fact that beyond writing (and having a cameo in) it, Luc Besson wasn't involved, it definately feels like one of his films. I suspect if you like them (particularly La Femme Nikita) you'll like this.
