The Professional

Here's a story bout a teenage girl name Mathilda, whose 'family' was killed, including her only real brother who's only four years old. Her plan: take revenge on those who killed her brother. Coincidentally she meets with a hitman who teaches her his trade. Mathilda is this feisty 12 yr old girl (kudos to Natalie Portman) who means business if she wants to do something. Just like going all alone to track down Stansfield. Firing bullets out the window, playing russian roulette. However her character doesn't lose the '12 yr old' self, only thing she's mature for her age. Leon (kudos to Jean Reno) is this professional next door hitman with a goofy side that you won't expect. He doesn't talk much, only when needed. The most coolest, calm hitman who shows himself through actions. You don't see him get angry even when Mathilda does immature stuff. It's surprising that Mathilda curses more than Leon. In fact, I didn't hear Leon cursed even once in the film. Lol. They share an unusual love relationship between each other. Much like first love between a boy and girl, so innocent. it's not as if she wants to seduce him, he is all she has. The scene when he has to let her go was painful, terribly... cried at that scene. Violence is a lot, intense when Mathilda's family was killed. You don't see lots of blood splattering actually, just holes on the clothing. occassional trail of blood. Leon's stitching of his wound was ouchie. There's drinking between mobsters and some drug uses. Lots of $#%#$^#. If you don't mind it then watch em. Overall I would say that I REALLY enjoyed this movie a lot! It is a good movie by Luc Besson just like Fifth Element. An accidental find but instant love. I loved how the movie revolves around Leon and Mathilda. At some scenes it was serious, then it became funny or sad and they were all memorable. The emotions these characters brought out were strong that it connects the viewers. It's a must watch you'll enjoy these unusual suspects :)
