Leon’s got a similar fashion sense to Victor and like Bruce Wayne in The Batman Lego Movie (2017) he works alone. At “work”, hitman Leon (Reno) has the stealth and cunning of a ninja and he gets the job done quickly, meticulously and efficiently. This character was then paired up with Portman’s Mathilda, as fate brings them together.Īfter a wee briefing for his latest assignment from Leon’s “employer,” Italian head honcho Tony (Danny Aiello), Leon goes to “work”. This character Victor – was played by Jean Reno – wearing a beanie, long coat and shades and clutching an ominous-looking case – quickly dispatches the target and his buddies.īesson felt this “cleaner” deserved a movie of his own and wrote the Leon script casting the same actor in this film’s leading and titular role. In this latter movie, after a failed assassination attempt by a female protagonist Nikita, another hit man or “cleaner” arrives to complete the assignment. The idea for Leon came into the French director’s head as he filmed La Femme Nikita (1990), this film telling of a criminal who becomes an assassin. This review is of the uncut and European version of the film with several differences from the earlier American film. However, I can’t stress enough that this film is for adults, with adult themes. Leon is an unconventional buddy movie at its best. This film is an explosive film debut for a wee 11-year-old Natalie Portman in the leading lady role of Mathilda. Leon is the title as it’s known in the UK and as The Professional in the States. This is the story behind our leading lady’s casting and the film premise of the movie Leon. It seems, there are just a few things you need to negotiate with the writer-director… So your daughter goes for the movie audition and doesn’t get the role but it’s only later she gets a call back for the role. She hopes to seek revenge on the culprits behind her wee four year old brother’s murder. She hopes the hitman to take her on as his protegee. The character Mathilda – who your daughter hopes to play – smokes, curses and eventually believes she’s in love with this hitman. This however after her family is gunned down by a corrupt and unstable cop and his work buddies. This movie is about a hitman who befriends and ultimately takes responsibility for a young girl. It would mean her debut film working with Luc Besson on an adult-themed movie.
A movie script for Leon / The Professional (1994) is sent to her and she reads it and is keen to do it. Picture the scene, your wee 11-year-old daughter wants to get in the movies.
