Professional, The
aka: Leon
USA / France 1994, 110 minutes
Dir. Luc Besson
Rating: [R18]
Genres: Action/Adventure
Feat. Jean Reno, Gary Oldman, Natalie Portman
Aroview: The director of NIKITA revamps his French hit with American money and the English language. An Italian hitman in New York reluctantly adopts a 12-year-old girl whose family have died at the bloodied hand of a maniac cop. Besson shows little restraint, which is just fine in the film's many action sequences.

5 stars (Exceptional) Expanding on the Nikita formula, Luc Besson successfully crosses the border to American film-making, keeping his film fresh and free from cliché. ~Tom H
5 stars (Exceptional) Total visual eye candy, the art direction is faultless. All elements at their finest especially the performance of ultimate bad guy Gary Oldman. ~Baby
