Editorial Review: Product Description: Professional assassin leon reluctantly takes care of 12-year-old mathilda a neighbor whose parents are killed and teaches her his trade. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 09/07/2000 Starring: Gary Oldman Natalie Portman Run time: 133 minutes Rating: Nr Amazon.com: Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) made his American directorial debut with this stylized thriller about a French hit man (Jean Reno) who takes in an American girl (Natalie Portman) being pursued by a corrupt killer cop (Gary Oldman). Oldman is a little more unhinged than he should be, but there is something genuinely irresistible about the story line and the relationship between Reno and Portman. Rather than cave in to the cookie-cutter look and feel of American action pictures, Besson brings a bit of his glossy style from French hits La Femme Nikita and Subway to the production, and the results are refreshing even if the bullets and explosions are awfully familiar. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Even the US version is "professional"--Jean Reno as "The Professional" brings to film a killer version of a man who is hesitant about life and rigid about relationships. That the movie comes under the guise of a hitman, or cleaner as Leon calls himself, is merely the dressing for the real story--the relationship between Leon and Matilda. Matilda is the 12-year-old daughter of a scumbag, small-time drug dealer, who has little control of himself, eases his frustrations through his hot wife and against his young daughter, Matilda. ...

The acting performances are what make the movie. Reno and Portman really bring life to a very improbable relationship, and it is heartwarming in spots. Beyond that the movie lost credibility almost from the start with the over-the-top action. This was supposed to be in NY. The opening assassination scene is ridiculous. Machine gun fire goes on for ten minutes, yet there ... Read More Rating: - leon-the professional (uncut)I ama a fan of this movie. When i saw an uncut version i just had to ceck it out.The story of the emotions of the little girl.was well done. Rating: - My husband loved it!I bought this for my husband because it is one of his favorite movies. He gives thumbs up on the flick and the special features. He was also impressed with the price because it was cheaper than he found it elsewhere. Rating: - Leon:Still great after all these yearsHaving not seen this movie for a number of years it was refreshing to find that it still packs a punch. Gary Oldman in one of his better roles as the 'baddie' and an excellant performance by Natalie Portman. The opening 'Hit' where Leon imerges from, and then disappers into the showdows is still to be surpassed. Well worth a look - if you can find it!! Browse for similar items by category:
