Leon. The Professional. Movie review

   “Leon: The Professional” is a high-octane drama with some elements of a thriller and action. This movie was shown on the big screen in France in 1994. It was written and directed by Luc Besson. This movie earned about $46 million, whereas the budget of the movie is $16 million. Jean Reno played L;on. Mathilda was played by the talented young Natalie Portman.

   Leon is a professional assassin. He lives in New York and has a lonely life without friends and family. One day he saves Mathilda Lando, a 12-year-old girl. This changes his life completely.

   The dynamics of emotions has a big effect in this movie. It is a real tearjerker but I can’t think of any scenes from this movie that should have been cut. The movie gives an atmosphere of suspense. “Leon: The Professional” received a positive response from many critics. It won several Awards and received many nominations.
