Jaq's Favourite Hitman Movies 2/4


569 MB - 640x240 - 133min

Natalie Portman plays Mathilda, a 12-year-old girl who lives in New York with her step-family. She has a close relationship with her little brother, but otherwise her life is a misery. Her father is involved in handling drugs for a crooked cop called Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman). One day, Mathilda encounters Leon (Jean Reno), a fellow tenant of the apartment block and professional hitman, and a relationship begins to form between them. Mathilda is out shopping for Leon when Stansfield kills the rest of her family for thinning out the drugs a little, and ultimately she takes refuge in Leon's apartment.

Desperate for revenge on her family's killers, Mathilda begs Leon to teach her his skills. Soon she has wormed her way into every part of his unusual life. Leon does his best to keep her out of trouble, and a father/daughter bond forms between the two of them. Leon however has little experience of being either a father or a friend, and is unable to prevent Mathilda from pursuing her vendetta against Stansfield.


Leon The Professional is the essential hitman film even though it’s about many things. First and foremost it’s a story about two people who in the most unconventional way find love and respect for each other. It takes a while for Leon and Mathilda to bond, but their relationship feels true and unique. Both characters transcend well off the screen, and even after my tenth viewing of this film I still feel with and care for them all the way to the end. Possibly Luc Besson’s best film, Leon is exciting, heartfelt, humorous, smart, violent, and rewarding.

Leon’s first appearance is in Besson’s 90s hit La Femme Nikita, a film about a very distraught woman who gets a second chance in life, although the new life adds more strain and emotional pain to her psyche. Jean Reno enters late in the film as Leon the cleaner and he helps Nikita complete her assignment. Nikita is also a terrific film and shares similarities with Leon, but the latter stands out for several reasons. First, I can identify more easily with the major characters, and second they are more likeable. Jean Reno is simply awesome as Leon, especially when he delivers a hit in the beginning of the film, and the required emotional side of the character is strong and clearly evident in Reno’s performance. Up until Mathilda shows up at this front door, Leon has lived a quiet and lonely life in New York.


Is life always this hard, or is it just when you're a kid? - Always like this.

Secondly, Natalie Portman is both sweet and zealous. For a then 12-year old actress to have as much emotional range as her is something special. She handles the dramatic elements with certain ease, but that’s not to say it’s easy to show tears and anger convincingly. Portman’s Mathilda changes from a mostly innocent girl to a fragile, determined young woman. It’s a stretch of sorts, but Portman pulls it off in expert and charming ways. Next, who can forget Gary Oldman as the evil (yes, evil), corrupt cop Norman Stansfield. The character could’ve ended up as a throwaway or cliche, but Oldman adds some serious gold and notoriety to his performance, making his confrontations with Mathilda and Leon all the more chilling. Moreover, Danny Aiello is worth mentioning as Leon’s best friend and boss.


Can we try with real bullets now?

This release presents Leon in the Uncut International Version, which adds 26 minutes of extra footage. In fact, this version makes the film so much better. It adds more tension, but most importantly produces a more whole and satisfying experience. Among the new scenes is a terrific and exciting training sequence involving Leon and Mathilda knocking down doors of unsuspected people and confronting one drug dealer in his apartment. Also new are scenes that include Mathilda threatening to shoot herself playing Russian roulette, Leon and Mathilda celebrating her first hit at a fancy restaurant, Mathilda asking Leon to have sex with her and him refusing, Leon explaining his reasons for leaving Italy when he was 19 years old, and a few more. Basically, several new subplots are added to the film.



Revenge is not good. Once you're done. Believe me.


Plus, there’s more of Eric Serra’s haunting, ethereal score now. Serra captures the emotion and intensity of the film very well. Moreover, Thierry Arbogast’s cinematography is great. He utilizes the widescreen format greatly to enhance the viewing experience. Though most notably of all is Luc Besson’s script and direction. In Leon he creates a perfect and fragile cast of characters, and through his direction he gives the actors an opportunity to act at the best of their ability. Besson and Arbogast also nail some signature action sequences. Besson’s ear for dialogue is also complimentary.


Alpha team, man down, man down. - I told you.
