La Femme Nikita [Region 2] description
French director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) broke the commercial taboo against female-driven action movies with this seminal, seductively slick film about a violent street punk (Anne Parillaud) trained to become a smooth, stylish assassin. Though it amounts, in the end, to little more than disposable pop, the film has a cohesiveness in style and tone--akin to the early James Bond films--that gives it a sense of integrity. Parillaud is compelling both as a wild child and chic-but-lethal pro (trained in good manners by none other than Jeanne Moreau). Tchéky Karyo is also good as the cop mentor who develops feelings for her. --Tom Keogh |

No Point of No Return

This movie is far superior to the American remake. Sure I'm American and like the remake, but it is not near the visceral impact as this original version made by the French. Luc Besson made one of his best with this movie. Although I don't speak French, it is better to watch subtitles than listen to terrible English dubbing.
An attractive female addict is taken off the street and cleaned up to be an assassin for the government. She is quite good at her job, but when she starts to question her orders she is considered a liability that must be removed. Excellent cast, action, music, and scenery. The DVD is decent quality. I recommend it. |
