Review of Léon: The Professional

The Professional (Léon) 'is an action movie very well shot, although in a very particular, considerably violent and somewhat entertaining. It has a touch of humor and is based on the charisma of its performers, more like visual impact as complete performances. But the element that makes it stand out is the inclusion of that child and teenager, going from innocent to move like a real Lolita causing the adult character and feelings in the viewer knows to refuse. That courage when living on the border in the moral, not only sexual issue, but for the exercise carefree of criminality on the part of some supposed "good". If you can choose the viewing, highly recommend the extended version, but can be rather long, has a sense that the topping-or, we might say, without departing far from reality, "censored"-is lost almost complete. After all these years, the film still looks great and probably still the most enjoyable of Besson.
