Tres bon!
Jean Reno excels in the greatest hitman movie of all time accompanied by an amazing score.
Brilliant
A film about an elderly hitman who takes a 12 year old orphan girl under his wing, sparking an ambiguous relationship in which the pair co-habit and, among other things, play 'dress-up' - in today's climate, Daily Mail readers would probably have raised an uproar. However, despite the deliberately blurred boundaries which exist between the central couple, this film is exceptionally touching, and both lead performances are incredibly moving and sympathetic.
As the eponymous Leon, Jean Reno convinces as both a fumbling man-child with no social skills, and a clinically effective hitman, performing jobs with a lethal detachment. Luc Besson handles the mix between action and burgeoning relationship with great skill, and the final third of the film has an unforgettable emotion...
So mixed
Gary Oldman is accomplished in this, and so is Jean Reno, in episode offspring Natalie Portman does a bad job to....
BUT (yeah it was coming) this shoot made me feel uncomfortable the all in all way to the core. It seemed to without exception be on the verge of turning into a paedophilic flick! The relationship between Portman and Reno is justified.....wrong!
But at the exact same early, it's a good film. Most cross-bred emotions about this inseparable!
