Summary: an excellent film
Review: This is the uncut international version we here in the states didn't get...the film is a little longer with some added extras in the middle....The Professional is a film about a little girl and a hitman and their relationship....Matilda's family was gun down by a twisted DA Police Officer in their apartment. She turns to Leo (Reno) for help....and finds out he is a "cleaner" or hitman....She wants to be taught how to "clean" so she can get the guys who killed her little brother.... During the film....the relationship between the two becomes deeper and in this version you will see more of the relationship between to two characters.... I still can't believe this was Portman's first film....She was brilllant!!

Summary: Luc Besson is a genius!
Review: This is an absolutely wonderful movie. I really love it! Luc Besson is a very good director. His visions are always so interesting and unique. I saw this DVD out so I immidiately bought it. And I really liked it too! It was perfect. Since it is the uncut international version, it had many scenes that I hadn't seen before. But, unlike most DVDs where the scenes are usually bad and they don't give you a chance to watch the movie without them, these scenes were really good! I barely even noticed that they were new. I was just wacthing the new scene where Natalie Portman gets a little tipsy on champagne, and was just laughing my head off and realized that this wasn't in the original version I had seen on TV! So over all the DVD was very well made, especially with that soundtrack isolation thing. I really like that. You can just sit back and listen to the exceptional score. And it's a wonderful movie to begin with, so where can you go wrong? A lot of people think this movie is about violence and killing, but it is really about love. Love over all things between a hit man and a little girl. Buy this DVD!

Summary: bust a cap in my heart
Review: the uncut version truned to be more compelling. Not sure why it was cut in the first place. I did not find anything disturbing uncomfortable. What ever you do, don't by the American version.

Summary: An Affable Hitman
Review: Luc Besson's touching tale of a hitman and a young lady touches all of the bases for a great action film and a humane look at friendship. Jean Reno plays Leon the hitman who looks like a silly, man who has no intelligence. Well, that is partly true due to illiteracy. His neighbor in the shallow apartment building which he resides has just witnessed the murders of her family. He takes the young Matilda (way too cute Natalie Portman) and they build a father-daughter relationship that they never had. I was crying so hard when Matilda dressed up and Leon had to play charades with her. It was heartfelt, tears rolling down my face. When corrupt police officers looked for them, he decided to wipe out all of them. Toughage! He was at the top of his doorframe and hung upside-down to blow them away. Yes! Even his plant made it through the massacre. But, the ending is devastating and will leave you in a crying coma for months. Natalie Portman had to go on without Leon and she lived off of twenty dollars. How resourceful! I loved this movie and everything about it. Gary Oldman is the ultimate evil spirit and he is always good. Natalie Portman became Queen Amidala in that one franchise and Jean Reno is the coolest thing since Antarctica! Loveage!

Summary: A Great Film!
Review: I've always enjoyed hitman films, but this one really got my attention. It feels as if Jean Reno is actually a hitman himself. To anyone whose thinking about buying this film, think no further, BUY IT!!! The Uncut International Version on DVD. This is one of the best movies of all time!

Summary: Leon...Best Movie Ever
Review: The movie consists of a blend of different elements to provide the best movie ever. People who have never watched the movie know it contains violence but it also has drama and comedy. Rarely does a movie express so much. The movie is not just for males like most of the movies like it. Everybody can sit down and enjoy. The extra 24 minutes are marvelous. They add to the love story which comes to an ultimate climax.

Summary: A Ripoff of the God Father
Review: This movie has the look and feel of the Godfather films, and it really could have used Marlon Brando or Al Pachino for some of the roles, as it is, this is nothing but a highly violent, no story film with not so impressive acting nor direction.

Summary: Leon thrilling, daring
Review: I'm a hug fan of Luc Besson and have always enjoyed his particular ability to put an ironic spin on the "Hollywood" movie. Leon is what? An action-thriller? A psychological-action-thriller? It defies easy description in part because Besson is so adept at molding the material - taking our expectations and turning them on their ear. For those who don't know, Natalie Portman made her film debut here, and her scenes with Jean Reno are unsettling, to say the very least. The film was criticized for its Lolita-like approach to this relationship, but understanding Besson's "deconstruction" of the sorts of relationships we expect to find in these movies is key. This is a great movie, made before Besson moved into his preoccuption with visual style (The Fifth Element, The Messenger), as good, if not better, than La Femme Nikita.
