Another entry in the list of bootleg escapades — the cult classic movie Léon: The Professional. A beautifully crafted piece of cinema that remains visually and emotionally stunning to this day. Here's why you should watch it:
❤️
1. The film’s action scenes are expertly choreographed, with a unique European aesthetic. It's not like your typical Hollywood shootouts. Tight editing and Besson’s direction makes it an immersive experience.
2. Young Natalie Portman's incredible talent comes out superbly as she portrays roles of a touch but vulnerable girl who's seeking revenge for her family's murder. This was her debut film, but she's shown such tremendous maturity, especially when you're doing scenes with someone like Jean Reno.
3. Gary Oldman wasn't old. His famous “EVERYONE!” line was not in the script. Oldman improvised many of his scenes. It was so good they added it in the trailer too.
