September 14, 2009A touching story with stylish visuals, good script and brilliant performances. Portman has never been better and this is Reno's finest leading role. Definitely one of Besson's best!

November 4, 2009Respectable action film that follows the influential roots of an early John McTiernan. Luc Besson and Jean Reno are an explosive bomb of action talent and the final result is as surprising as sticking a fork into an electrical outlet. Moving without being melodramatic and intense...( read more)

November 4, 2009Natalie Portman shows her acting calibre at such a young age as the precocious Matilda, alongisde the brilliant Jean Reno as a professional hitman who also has a sensitive side. Gary Oldman as always is also great, playing a psychotic bad guy. A must see!

November 25, 2007This movie is genious. It is disturbing, but comforting. It is funny, yet cruel. I loved every aspect of this film, not to mention every member of the cast had totally believable and powerful acting. Gary Oldman was spellbinding, I loved it. You must rent this. Actually, go buy it, you'll love it to pieces.
