Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner".

after so many years, I decided to review this film and it is flawless. The best crime thriller of all time with the young Natalie Portman, the charismatic Gary Oldman, the unflappable and sullen Jean Reno.
classics of the genre for the ages

It's a wonderful film, with very contradictory emotions.

in some moments I felt disgust, in some I felt universal sadness

but the picture and the story are masterpieces) it's not for nothing that the footage from the film periodically crawls on the Internet. Definitely worth watching, and not even one

There is an Indian version of Leon's film called Scorpio. Where else can you see little Natalie Portman.

A movie that can't be beaten. A movie that you want to review after every Besson movie, every Reno movie, and every Portman movie. Although each of them has a lot of wonderful creations in their filmography, but Leon is something.

A great crime film from the days when Luc Besson still remembered how to make a good movie, and Jean Reno was at the forefront.
Well, Harry Oldman was already surprising with his performance back then, playing the role of a real crazy scumbag.
This movie can evoke different emotions, but it cannot be denied that it has become a true classic of crime dramas and a gem in the careers of all involved.

I reviewed it, at one time it was made of every iron and was considered a masterpiece. Unfortunately, there is nothing in the film except Oldman's great acting, indomitable Renault and high-quality visual. One of those "masterpieces" that it is better not to review, remaining in the delusion of its " masterpiece."

You can put cons until you're blue in the face, but this is certainly not a GREAT MOVIE or a MASTERPIECE. It's just a good movie, nothing more. Sometimes stupid and ridiculous, but still watchable due to the caste and uncomplicated plot.

Jean Reno is a wonderful actor, I've watched all the films with his participation. "Leon" I consider one of the best films of all time, the picture has sunk into my soul so much that many years later I review it with the same interest as the first time)

Leon is a classic example of how cinema can remain great and inspire generations of viewers for decades. I have watched this film myself at different periods of my life: as a child, as a teenager and in adulthood, and each time it has remained an exceptional and amazing experience for me.

Director Luc Besson has created a unique world where deep humanity and magnificent action mix. Jean Renaud as Leon and Natalie Portman as Matilda are great, their interaction leaves an unforgettable impression. The film explores the themes of love, loneliness, and sacrifice presented through the complex relationships of the main characters.

My rating is 5 out of 5: Leon is a masterpiece that combines the skill of directing, excellent acting performances and a deep plot twist. This film remains one of my most beloved and instructive cinematic experiences.

Jean Reno and Natalie Portman are certainly great, but Stansfield, played by Gary Oldman, is generally one of the best villains in cinema. How much expression there is in him and what an incredible charisma.

So many films have been made about hired killers, but in Leon it's not even thought about how the hero lives his transformation, from a closed person to a man whose heart was touched by care, sincerity and defenselessness. Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Sting's songs are inextricably linked.

Нифига не понял.
Да, жалко героев, я вроде не совсем черствый - однако факультет 'философия и софистика' - не мое.
Фильм завязали на херне, плохие парни сделали по херне, а один вообще конченый - понял, за что хвалите актера, но его героя хотелось обоссать и посадить на пику. Штош, второе наш друг исполнил.

Депрессивная зарисовка.. эээ, для тех, кто постарше?

Of course, I've always adored this movie, but as a mother of two daughters, I have questions about the image of Natalie Portman and her relationship with Leon.

@Raphaela: Matilda is a confused child, she has never known fatherly love, so when she developed feelings for Leon, she naturally mistook them for a woman's love for a man. Realizing that Leon saw her as an exceptionally little girl, she tried to look more mature, but the only examples in her life were her mother and her sister, so she simply copied their characters and behaved just as defiantly. As for Leon, as I wrote above, he saw Matilda exclusively as a child, she is to him like a flower that he loves and cares about. Leon and Matilda found in each other what neither life nor society could give them, in general, everything is much more complicated than it seems at first glance.

@Barnaby: it's all reasonable, of course, just knowing Luc Besson's love for young girls, you look at it from a different angle. He married Maiwenn when she was 15, and at 16 she gave birth to him.
