Leon: The Professional was a damn good movie. Great film debut by Natalie Portman. Leon and Mathilda's relationship is so sweet, and while the stylish action's great, this is obviously the highlight of the movie. Reno's simple-minded character's adorable when he's happy. Great acting by everybody involved, and the whole thing's accompanied by a fantastic score which really added well to the atmosphere.

I just can't believe that Weinstein didn't have a hand in this. Sick stuff.

Compelling cinema. As fresh in 2016 as when I first saw it in 1995. Career enhancing roles from Natalie, Jean & Gary make this a great way to spend a couple of hours.

I don't know why you like the movie. Yeah the Story and Acting And Directing and the Music are perfect. BUT The relationship between Leon and Mathilda is not that clean. Mathilda is Sexually insulting Leon, and there is some pedophilism here. IF YOU SEE a relationship like the one between Leon and Mathilda, Call the police.

Léon is a film I've watched many times and it never fails to affect.

I could watch it a hundred times more just see to Léon's face as he watches Singing in the Rain; such unabashed joy. He turns around in a near empty theatre looking for someone else lost in a moment of bliss, but finds More

This is my second time watching this film, and I have to say I appreciate it more than the first time, although that is partially because the first time I watched the cut-down US version (Damn it, Netflix). The added (or rather, restored) scenes really pull the movie together and in my opinion are i More

I can't believe I didn't watch this movie earlier—a young girl loses her family and gets taken care by an Italian professional assassin.

Be warned that this movie has extremely graphic content and might include scenarios that will cause you to feel uneasy and possibly disturbed. I highl More

HOW TO MAKE A FEMALE ASSASSIN. TRAUMA, TRAINING THEN GET HER EXTRA ANGRY. NATILIE PORTMANS FIRST ASSASSIN ROLE AND HOPEFULLY NOT HER LAST. WE NEED A PART 2 TO THIS MOVIE.
