Editorial Review:
Product Description: An orphaned girl takes shelter with a neighbor she knows slightly. Leon is a professional hit man whos never had a reason to care about anybody but natalie has no one else. They form a makeshift father-daughter bond that changes both of their lives. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/07/2004 Starring: Jean Reno Gary Oldman Run time: 109 minutes Rating: R Director: Luc Besson
Amazon.com: 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

Gary Oldham plays a bad guy so well and you will see that clearly in this movie. Natalie Portman was a young budding actor in her role, but gives a great performance with Jean Reno at her side. A keeper.
Rating: -
Jean Reno as "The Professional" brings to film a killer version of a man who is hesitant about life and rigid about relationships. That the movie comes under the guise of a hitman, or cleaner as Leon calls himself, is merely the dressing for the real story--the relationship between Leon and Matilda.
Matilda is the 12-year-old daughter of a scumbag, small-time drug dealer, who has little control of himself, eases his frustrations through his hot wife and against his young daughter, Matilda. ... Read More

I saw all the "best movie" reviews and bought it. I was let down as although it is good, it is far from best in my book. The acting performances are what make the movie. Reno and Portman really bring life to a very improbable relationship, and it is heartwarming in spots.
Beyond that the movie lost credibility almost from the start with the over-the-top action. This was supposed to be in NY. The opening assassination scene is ridiculous. Machine gun fire goes on for ten minutes, yet there ... Read More
