In this - the original - you see "Nikita" at its beginning and, most people agree, at her best. Anne Parillaud, an actress I've always found fascinating, is riveting as the lead character. Jean-Huges Anglade, Tcheky Karyo and Jean Reno provide a very strong supporting cast. The characters were believable and it was refreshing to see a no-nonsense approach to a murder story, meaning if someone had to be killed, they were shot quickly with no questions asked. Some of the action scenes are brutal. Parillaud's character is memorable. She can change appearances, from a hard- nosed hysterical animal to a real lady. It's also interesting to see Reno in a familiar role as a "cleaner," a role he made famous four years later in "Leon: The Professional." The DVD provides either easy-to-read subtitles or a well-done dubbed version. If sound is important to you, you'll hear better stereo with the subtitled version. DVD extras are awesome with a long 'making of'.Read full review
The original classic drug addict turned assassin movie from French producer Luke Besson. This story was remade by Hollywood as “Point of No Return” starring Bridget Fonda. However, the original remains the best. If you like this, also look out for “Leon: The Professional.” Outstanding movies!

A movie, one of the first of its kind starring Daniel Day Lewis and two notable female actors (I will let you find this treat out!) come together as a womanizing doctor and mistress, are interrupted by marriage in a most tumultuous time in a Russia/Chezch conflict interleaving real history footage and then present day actors in a celebration of life and its fragility during pressing times...I never grow tired of both the artistry and the art itself in this beautiful film....recommended!
