1994 **** 110 mins.
Released internationally as Leon, this film is a thoroughly entertaining little action flick. What drew me to this film, initially, was the fact that it is Natalie Portman's first film. She was 12-years-old when she was discovered for this film. She plays a girl who seeks refuge with a hit man (Jean Reno) after her family is killed over a drug ordeal. Now, Mathilda (Portman) wants to get revenge on the people man who killed her brother (Gary Oldman).
Rated R for violence, language, and sexual content.
