Nikita (1990)


Convicted felon Nikita, instead of going to jail, is given a new identity and trained, stylishly, as a top secret spy/assassin.

Unusual and exciting thriller with a great cast and an excellent star in the lead role; the topic seems almost like a prequel to besson's even more successful Léon.

Halliwell*: "Implausible, though stylish and very watchable, thriller."

Maltin***: "Slick, ultra-violent saga...Stylish and compelling, if not always believable, with a star-making role for Parillaud."
