Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was based on a script that was set to be a sequel for Léon: The Professional (1994). The story was set to follow Natalie Portman's character Mathilda as she tracked down and killed characters that had wronged her and Leon. Due to rights issues with the studio behind the first film, it was canceled and the script was turned into this film.
- GoofsEarly on, 10-year-old Cataleya is running from the thugs who just killed her parents. She escapes by quickly jumping into a curbside storm drain opening which the thugs are too big to enter. Moments later, Cataleya is climbing out of a partially opened manhole cover in the middle of a busy street. Manhole covers are made of cast iron and weigh 249 pounds; she never would have been able to move it.
- Quotes
Don Luis Sandoval: You have ruined your whole life trying to kill me? Someone like me? I cannot be killed. I do the killing. And now it's your turn to be hunted. You will never find me. But as day follows night, believe me, I'll find you, and I will kill you! And you know why? Because I will never be where you want me to be!
Cataleya: Actually, you're exactly where I want you to be.
Don Luis Sandoval: Huh?
[dogs start barking]
Don Luis Sandoval: Aah!
Cataleya: Eat...

Thumping Action
The latest work from Europacorp didn't disappoint me. I love Luc Besson's mad action flicks and this was no different. Zoe Saldana is class as the sexy killer ready to do anything to get revenge on the criminals who murdered her family. It's territory we've seen over and over but I enjoyed it. The films action, when it comes, is thrilling. There are some inventive kills and a good little straightner at the end involving toothbrushes (believe it or not). Saldana will probably come a long way after this in terms of action roles and it's nice to see an actress who can act as well as kick ass. Lennie James is a bit on the didgy side with an accent that sometimes sounds like a drunken person at an Indian restaurant doing a bad impression of the waiter. He's a still a good actor all the same. I hope they continue to make these sorts of action films where I can just switch of and enjoy them because as long as they make them, I'll watch them. ***/*****.
