Luc Besson's neo-noir classic about a femme fatale assassin.
Starring Besson’s former wife Anne Parillaud in the title role, a former junkie sentenced to life in prison for shooting a police officer in the face, but only to have her death faked while in prison so that the government can train her to be a talented and accurate assassin, naturally. Highly stylised and high on action, the film was later remade as Point of No Return with Bridget Fonda in the title role, but as much of the history of cinema has dictated, nothing beats the original, which also starred Jean-Hugues Anglade, Tchéky Karyo, Jean Reno (playing a “cleaner” reminiscent of Léon) and the late great Jeanne Moreau as Amande.
“La Femme Nikita begins with the materials of a violent thriller but transcends them with the story of the heroine's transformation. It is a surprisingly touching movie with the same kind of emotional arc as Awakenings; the character is in a trance of deprivation and poverty, neglect and drugs, until she is awakened by her violent act and its unexpected results.” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
