Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) made his American directorial debut with this stylized thriller about a French hit man (Jean Reno) who takes in an American girl (Natalie Portman) being pursued by a corrupt killer cop (Gary Oldman). Oldman is a little more unhinged than he should be, but there is something genuinely irresistible about the story line and the relationship between Reno and Portman. Rather than cave in to the cookie-cutter look and feel of American action pictures, Besson brings a bit of his glossy style from French hits La Femme Nikita and Subway to the production, and the results are refreshing even if the bullets and explosions are awfully familiar. --Tom Keogh

The rest of the story about Leon and Mathilda....
A FINE movie, excellent direction, incredible action, and some fine acting by all involved.
(Unlike many cinematic "improvements, the extra 24 minutes added to (finally) this edition actually improve an already outstanding film...
I'd like to add, that the reviewers who cry "obscene" over this platonic relationship are clearly mentally ill....
Mathilda, as a precocious pre-pubescent girl, fixated ... Read More

This intelligent and action-packed thriller made me stand up and take notice of several actors who I hadn't known before, as well as the work of director Luc Besson. Few action thrillers are as original as this one; after all, there are only so many shoot-'em ups that you can stage before the whole idea becomes shopworn. But this one manages more than a few original twists and turns--as in the Lolita-like love story between the young girl and the older man, which was downplayed in the American version ... Read More

I liked this movie when I first saw the US version . I considered it a very good movie, but I felt that it was not as good as it could have been . When I found this uncut version ,I expected some differences; but I found a spectacular movie. Do not buy the US version. This international would rate 5 stars+ . I was blown away , it was more than I expected. The US version would rate a 2 against this uncut masterpiece. I have never been so moved ...this is the only review I have taken the time to write. ...

After her drug-dealer father and family are murdered, 12 year-old Matilda (Natalie Portman) is effectively adopted by Leon (Jean Reno), the nice man in the apartment next door who just happens to be a hit-man. Leon then proceeds to teach Matilda his trade so that she can exact revenge on her family's killers.
"Leon" is one of the most unusual films that I have ever seen and also one of the best. Without a doubt, it is the best of Luc Besson's films. In a video store, this film would probably be ... Read More

I saw this for the first time On Demand last summer, and it was pretty good, but I was hooked on Oldman's character Stansfield. Lately we have been casting around for movies to watch, and my husband had never seen this, so I ordered it and we watched it last night. This version has scenes I don't remember from the summer, so I assume it's somewhat of a director's cut.
The thing is, while Reno is good (and his character is good), it's not enough to carry the movie. Now, everyone talks about how ... Read More
