    Its much slower and more restrained than I'm used to from Luc Besson, but that doesn't mean its bad.

    The original and still one of the best films by Luc Besson and much more powerful than any other assassin film there is.

    Influential French action film...copied many times, including the American Point of No Return (good remake)...I have yet to see a Luc Besson film I didn't like.

    I loved Luc Besson's work on Fifth Element and the Assassin is one of my all time favorite films, so i HAD to see this. It's pretty much exactly the same as the american version....just with subtitles and less hollywood 'gloss'.

    A french flic, for my fellow french speekers. It is an amazing goverment film, (not made by the goverment, stupid. the genre!) It is touching and reviving. I recomend it highly. Some bordom.

    The return of the noir genre modern and hip. Well dubbed for those who don't like subtitles. Parillaud channels her inner Audrey Hepburn. Great preformances from Reno, and Karyo. Worth rewatching.

    Victor, nettoyer. Was he a government cleaner? He was so gangsta (in a good way)! There should be gangsta/govt trading cards for serious fans of espionage.

    One of my first French movies. Amazingly done. Amazingly fresh and gritty. Puts Martin Scorsese to shame.

    Gritty French spy film full of action shot by the master Luc Besson. 300 times better than the American remake.

    What a great story! It's dirty, stylish, and action packed. Anne Parillaud does job as drug addict turned spy. Kind of a deadly "My Fair Lady."

    --French Movie--
    Not a big budget movie but a really nice story and great actors. That's a woman in action, a woman every other one dream to be like. Sexy, dangerous, with a LOT of attitude. The dream of guys ;)

    Waaaay better than the American version. I saw this one first and was blown away by Anne Parillaud's performance. So much to say with her face and her eyes but not too much dialogue. Good action too.

    I have a deep aversion to Hollywood remakes of foreign films, but I actually thought that this original was just as lame as the remake.

    A spy movie that has become a classic. A real action film with heart. Can't say enough about this movie.

    it has to be the french original for me. Assassin was based on this and nowhere near as good. Grippingly realistic. Turned into a series with Peta Wilson starred in league of extraorinary gentlemen

    Its no "Leon", but very stylish and romantic. Had some great scenes. Loved the character and the performance by Parillaud.

    Luc Besson, showing how it's really done. This original by far outstrips any other pretender to the Nikita throne

    A French cult film classic about a heroin addict turned international assassin. A must see for anyone who likes to see women in strong rolls with big guns.
