Summary: Excellent overall
Review: Overall I really enjoy this film. It has alot of subplots and is very exciting. The acting from everyone is amazing and the action fast and dramatic. The scenes are filmed in an excellent way.
The last 20 minutes strike me as a little weak and is really the only part of the film I do not like. The sound on the dvd is poor. It is not true 5.1 and the French track while the best for emotion and ambience is the worst sound on the dvd. But still worth a buy.

Summary: Beware the translation...
Review: As a longtime fan of this movie, I was thrilled to get the DVD, only to find that I really prefer my old VHS tape. The picture is sharper, of course, but it's much more severely letterboxed than the VHS version, which on my standard-sized TV set means much squinting; moreover, the picture is distorted on the sides and top, so that all straight lines appear curved, as if the film were being projected with the wrong lens.But worst of all is the new translation of the film's dialogue into English. Both subtitles and dubbed dialogue take so many liberties with translation that entire lines are sometimes added, while other important moments ("Pencil?") are altered beyond recognition by overly creative translating. Even with my rusty French skills, I can tell this translation departs a *lot* from the lines as they were originally spoken. The film itself is so visual that it overcomes a lot of the rewriting in the translation, but I'll hold out hope for another release that will preserve the integrity of the dialogue.

Summary: Fantastic film!
Review: This is the best female action film ever made. It is certainly the best film in which I've ever seen Anne Parillaud. It is smart and sexy. Great action sequences that cannot be overlooked. I'm not a fan of subtitles, but I never noticed them on this film. They do not detract from the film in any way. I fell in love with it in just one viewing.

Summary: Cult classic
Review: What a great movie, I've just seen it on DVD and I am most impressed, as the original it is the standout performance of Anne Parillaud and Jean Reno that caught my attention the first time I saw it in London in 1990! Eleven years on it is still the best female action movie I've ever seen.

Summary: Great Great Movie
Review: Luc Besson - love him (la femme nikita) or hate him (the fifth element)he has a style all his own. Nikita is a great early 90's work with flair and action. Much of the credit goes to the beautiful Ann Parillaud who portrays a "heroine" both childlike and complex in her role as an assasin.

Summary: WARNING: This is NOT the Theatrical Released Subtitled Vers
Review: WARNING: This is NOT the Theatrical Released Subtitled version. MGM for whatever reason has completely changed the english subtitles on their dvd and they are TERRIBLE! If you have seen the originl movie, you know that the award winning Besson film is edgy; intelligent. The re-subtitling of this movie is absurd and frustrating to watch. Request that the out of stock dvd by Samuel Goldwyn be re-distributed and send MGM a message. Foreign films should not be manipulated for any reasons whatsoever.

Summary: I Enjoyed This Action Film With A Passion
Review: Filled with intense action and viloence with romance thrown in the mix we have a very well made entertaing thriller. Attractive French Actress Anne Parilluard Plays Nikita, a heorin addict with a brutal meanstreak who is transformed by the French Goverment into a well groomed cold blooded assassin Soon however she begins to realize & experince the impact of humanity. Loaded with amazing visuals as captures the action with a high fashion flare and never gets too tedious.

Summary: Better Than American's Version
Review: Originally, I bought the VHS version. I was surprised that the film is much better than the American version. Le Femme Nikita came first before Point of No Return. The only thing I didn't like too much was the restaurant scene, the American version was in slow-motion for dramatic purposes. Plus, I really like Bridgett Fonda :) On the DVD version, not only can watch this in the original language, you can also listen to it with English dub-over. Watch it with French/American subtitles. If you like/love and can appreciate foreign films, this is must have. If not, don't waste you money, because you won't like it.

Summary: Terrific movie, pathetic translation
Review: Some years ago, I taped this film off of a cable channel and was very impressed by the quality of the subtitling. Needless to say I was looking forward to the DVD- what a joke. To appreciate this movie, turn off the subtitles if you have any working knowledge of French, or, as and as another reviewer suggested, listen to the English overdub for a light comedy that is somewhat akin to 1970's kung fu flicks. Sic Victor on the DVD producers!

Summary: One of my favourite films but most hated DVD's
Review: I recently bought this DVD (region 1) knowing that Luc Besson'sNikita is one of the wonders of the modern world. BUT to my surpriseand disapointment the subtitiles, provided by a company in California,were pretty poor. I don't speak much French but when you hear onething and have to read another thing on the screen it really is apain. Things weren't just watered down in the translation, they weresometimes just plain WRONG. Since when has 'sept' meant eight?!? Tooirritating for me - I sent it back. I listened to the english trackand that was just appaling, so please can we have decentsubtitles?!? I'm going to give the region 2 disc a go when it'sreleased in the UK - perhaps the subtitles are better?!? Who knows.
