Review

 

After being convicted of killing a cop, street-tough Nikita must choose between her own execution or training with a top-secret government agency to become an assassin. Given a new identity, new skills, and a new life by her mentor Bob (Tcheky Karyo), Nikita becomes "Josephine," a seductive, sophisticated knockout who's also a brutally efficient killing machine.

Luc Besson's Nikita is the stylish, high-voltage thriller that revolutionized the action genre with a sexy, gun-wielding woman as its main character. Starring Jean Reno, Jean-Hughes Anglade, Jeanne Moreau and Anne Parillaud in the title role (winning her a 1991 Best Actress Cesar Award), Nikita achieved cult status worldwide, inspiring an American remake and a hit U.S. television series.

Powered by some of the most adrenaline-pumping action scenes ever filmed, Nikita redefined femme fatale for a new generation.

In it's original guise, this was a great movie. So why only two stars? Unfortunately, this version is dubbed, with exceptionally poor audio quality and very unconvincing audio actors. The sound quality was so poor I tried watching the film with English subtitles- only to find that the subtitles and the dubbed audio were totally different! If you can get hold of a copy with the original audio and subtitles, I'd recommend that, but I cannot in all honesty recommend this version is I found the film painful to watch.

Customer rating: 5 out of 5 stars Fantastic

Great movie, if you don't do subtitles don't bother for everyone else for this type of movie it don't get better, just watch out for the bits that youve seen since (Lock Stock, Pulp Fiction, Bourne Identity etc.) Luc did it here first. Even the yanks thought it was good (had to remake though - subtitles!), needless to say this is a lot better. Worth two hours of your life - definately!
