Product Description

Amazon.ca

French director Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) broke the commercial taboo against female-driven action movies with this seminal, seductively slick film about a violent street punk (Anne Parillaud) trained to become a smooth, stylish assassin. Though it amounts, in the end, to little more than disposable pop, the film has a cohesiveness in style and tone--akin to the early James Bond films--that gives it a sense of integrity. Parillaud is compelling both as a wild child and chic-but-lethal pro (trained in good manners by none other than Jeanne Moreau). Tchéky Karyo is also good as the cop mentor who develops feelings for her. --Tom Keogh

5.0 out of 5 stars The original is still the best July 31 2003
By B. Pytlinski
Format:DVD
After years of remakes and cable shows, I see this film today and there is a combined sense of romance and danger that can't be recreated by anyone but Besson. BLACK CAT was decent, POINT OF NO RETURN was sickening and the cable show constantly cheapens and makes light of the character's weaknesses and sexuality. The story, yes. The action, yes. The cinematography, you know it. But the one thing that keeps me coming back for this film is it's aura and Anne's unique and powerful screen presence.

5.0 out of 5 stars La Femme Nikita is a MASTERPIECE July 10 2003
By Bob
Format:DVD
This film is incredible. If you have seen Point of No Return starring Bridget Fonda, you have seen a Hollywood-ified scene by scene interpretation of this piece of art. The french original has a mood all its own, a very sexy, foreboding and enticing attitude that grabs you by the balls and refuses to let go for over two hours...but you enjoy it so much that it seems like much less.It is a must see for anyone into action, feminist, artistic, creative, stylized,and critical films.
