Rightly and expectedly so this has become a cult film. Worth watching in French with the subtitles as the sound is better. I have no idea why the Americans felt they had to remake it a few years later. Film has the normal Besson younger girl / older father figure theme which he does so well.
An entertaining film, not quite as good as the 1993 Bridget Fonda (Assassin) version though. However it is worth watching just to see Jean Reno's short appearance as the cleaner.
I basically wanted to check out another of Luc Bessons films as Leon is such an awesome film, this on the other hand doessn't really come close in my opinion. There are some good bits but overall it felt kind of slow and that you was always waiting for something big and exciting to happen but this only ever happened in little pieces. I did love the appearance of Jean Reno and the part where he turns up is the best part of the film lol. I won't ruin anything but it's great. Nikita is worth watching but something wasn't there for me. Others will probably love it
Saw this a long time ago..... Well worth getting again on DVD. Don't bother with the Hollywood re-make !
