More reviews:
A sui generis movie filled with action, tenderness, a American-Italian mafia, corruption, and a cold blooded hit-man who finds a new meaning about life after meeting a young girl.
"León" is more than just a hit-man movie; it's the perfect combination of action and drama. The plot is more than complex than you could think. First, we can see the movie through 2 points of view.
The first, in my opinion, deals with Mathilda being literally rescued by León and then him taking care of her life (as a consequence of rescuing her; he couldn't leave her alone).
The second deals with Mathilda wanting to be a "cleaner" or a hit-man (girl version). She's obsessed with taking revenge for her little brother's murder.
Anyways she and León grow a special relationship based on tenderness and loneliness. Both have similarities between them as they are alone in the world and then they have not a secure future.
The performances are top notch, import AVI into QuickTime Oscar worthy. Jean Reno delivers a spectacular performance although he does not speaks that much; but his corporal acting and facial expressions are excellent. He's one fine actor. Play AVI on Mac Natalie Portman demonstrated why she's one of the most talented young actresses in the world. And the girl was only 11! Her performance is brave, sweet, and dramatic. A one of a kind performance.
The Direction is excellent. A perfect Action movie with Dramatic tones that looks modern, classic, and stylish. Very good visual experience.
I can't praise this movie enough and I can't think how many times I've seen it. León is a movie that deserves to be watched by everyone.
The crucial part of the movie in my opinion is when León helps Mathilda escape from the attack Stansfield sends against them. León makes everything possible to save Mathilda and even risks his life and in a moving scene he tells her (my words are not that accurately) something like "we're gonna make it, you gave a new meaning to my life; I want to sleep in a bed (he never slept fully), drink milk, etc. Sadly, only Mathilda escapes but now her future is secure as León's money will pass to her. Then she signs into a private school for girls; now her future looks shinny.
León is the best hit-man in town but at the end he can't survive a massive attack against him. Still, a satisfactory and moving ending. Even the sexual tension between Mathilda and León is justified and totally comprehensive. Convert MPEG to DVD Mac I mean, Mathilda is about to explore her sexual needs and feelings and León is a lonely man who has little or non existent contact with women; not to mention Mathilda is extremely beautiful.
Anyways, a movie that you can dig the whole time.
