Hopefully not a repost:

Directed by Luc Besson, Starring Jean Reno, Gary Oldman and the debut of Natalie Portman

Genre: noir, action, drama

Run time: about two hours from memory



'Professional assassin Leon reluctantly takes care of 12-year-old Mathilda, a neighbor whose parents are killed, and teaches her his trade.'

Seriously awesome film, get on it if you haven't already!

excellent, you also may like more of Besson's work, like little nikita or the 5th element. this film is worth a watch over and over again, especially Oldman's performance which is on the edge, the whole film is well done, period, a 9.8 outta 10, gotta love Jean, check out Crimson Rivers as well.

I have a strange affinity for Reno, Portman is a bonus! Excellent way to debut on the big screen.
