Rightly and expectedly so this has become a cult film.
Worth watching in French with the subtitles as the sound is better.
I have no idea why the Americans felt they had to remake it a few years later.
Film has the normal Besson younger girl / older father figure theme which he does so well.

An ok film with some good partsReview created: 06/12/08

I basically wanted to check out another of Luc Bessons films as Leon is such an awesome film, this on the other hand doessn't really come close in my opinion. There are some good bits but overall it felt kind of slow and that you was always waiting for something big and exciting to happen but this only ever happened in little pieces. I did love the appearance of Jean Reno and the part where he turns up is the best part of the film lol. I won't ruin anything but it's great. Nikita is worth watching but something wasn't there for me. Others will probably love it

) An entertaining film, not quite as good as the 1993 Bridget Fonda (Assassin) version though. However it is worth watching just to see Jean Reno's short appearance as the cleaner.

Action you cannot missReview created: 13/02/08
by:
In a story that owes something to 'Pygmalion', junkie punk Nikita is detained for the murder of a cop and then transformed into a designer-clad government assassin. But life as a killer on call is complicated and casts a shadow over her affair with new lover Marco.
The film falls into two distinct sections of which the opening is the best. after that it becomes a more conventional thriller. Much of the film's success is down to Parillaud herself. The camera clearly adores her (following the eye of the director, as they were a couple for a while, and had a child). It's Amanda who oversees Nikita's transformation from a savage, speechless junkie into a femme fatale. Nikita in action is fast, graceful and very exciting,
Luc Besson has always been a filmmaker fascinated by the look of things but rarely has he relished surface flash more than here. Nikita is built around a questionable premise and the plot contains more holes than my string vest. But for all its faults it's a great action movie, manages to appear more realistic than it really is. if you are a action Don't miss this,
