Leon: The Professional (1994): Professional assassin Leon reluctantly takes care of 12-year-old Mathilda, a neighbor whose parents are killed, and teaches her his trade. (8.6)
Director: Luc Besson
Writer: Luc Besson
Stars: Jean Reno, Gary Oldman and Natalie Portman
A very, very dark comedy, extremely well orchestrated by all the people involved in the movie. The story is quite fascinating. The acting is superb, including that of Portman at an early stage of her career. It requires special abilities from the main actors to reflect the absurdities in the situation, without an excess of dialog, and they do deliver remarkably well. If you like this type of movies, you'd love it, as I did. My Rating: 8.0
