Editorial Review:
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

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 years
Having 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!!
Rating: - "Hey!.....You know the ring trick?"
The rest of the story about Leon and Mathilda....
A FINE movie, excellent direction, incredible action, and some fine acting by all involved.
(Unlike many cinematic "improvements, the extra 24 minutes added to (finally) this edition actually improve an already outstanding film...
I'd like to add, that the reviewers who cry "obscene" over this platonic relationship are clearly mentally ill....

Rating: - Best of its genre
This intelligent and action-packed thriller made me stand up and take notice of several actors who I hadn't known before, as well as the work of director Luc Besson. Few action thrillers are as original as this one; after all, there are only so many shoot-'em ups that you can stage before the whole idea becomes shopworn. But this one manages more than a few original twists and turns--as in the Lolita-like love story between the young girl and the older man, which was downplayed in the American version ... Read More
