If Looks Could Kill (1991)

Before he can graduate, cocky high school student Michael Corben (Richard Grieco) travels to France on a school trip to earn a missing French credit.

Michael has the time of his life — until he crosses paths with two assassins (Tom Rack, Carole Davis) who want him dead.
