A film i have been meaning to watch for a long time,

from a exiting opening to a mellowed middle and ending with bombastic climax. the film was so enjoyable. the film is about a exception hitman that ends up taking in a 14yr old girl has his protegee due to her parents being killed by corrupt DEA.

both Leon and mathilda are in many ways incomplete and their relationship allows them to find what they were missing and grow. the way the film character studies the cast opens the many layers each of them have. the film is very stylised, this complements its action and feel. presenting scenes that both suck you in and entice you.

the thing about this film that i ranked higher than its action story everything else will be casting, i after viewing and thought who else i would have liked to see in place of all the characters and i came up short of decent list and any such life to me is always a sign of well casted film. from Jean Reno to Natalie Portman do such a dynamic role and shoulder the huge task of making us care and empathies with the characters before the action pumps up. but to me the one that stole the show was Gary Oldman, man he was great cunning ruthless and crazy in such a nice package who isnt to enjoy his performance.

this film is an easy recommend by me and a easy pick for weekend watch.
