Review of Léon: The Professional (1994) by Patryk C — 30 Jul 2012

Great thriller about the most unlikely relationship between a harsh and vicious trained assassin and a shy young girl. While they have their upside and downs, the bonding period proves to be sweet and and violent at tame same time.

Wanting to avenge the murder of her whole family, this brave 12-year old tries to use Leon's masterful abilities and steady hand as a perfect killing machine. Luc Beson proves that the American soil does good for his directorial skills, and shines a new light on the genre with Leon: The Professional - a fast-paced, yet uncanny suspense thriller with great leading performances.
