Where to Watch El profesional (Léon)
- pipannihace 5 hSome great scenes and a peak Gary Oldman make for a nice action movie, but there are also very cringy and awkward scenes in the interaction between the two leads. A possible remake should probably feature a couple with not such a big age gap, if you get my drift. Anyway this is still a good movie, and it's incredible how talented Natalie Portman already was at such a young age.
- Oʂɯαʅԃσ Rσყҽƚƚ6 de febrero de 2026Leon is one of the most emotionally intense movies ever made. French director Luc Besson uses everything: actors, music, camera angles, lighting to create an unique experience - "It's not realism, it's not naturalism - it's heightened reality" as Gary Oldman very well put it.
- Jakeys26 de diciembre de 2025A great movie, though very difficult and uncomfortable to watch the longer international version. Natalie Portman is amazing in it, can see why she became a star. I think Jean Reno is solely responsible for saving this movie from tipping over the edge to disgusting, this could have been Besson at his very worst.
- whizzzkid27 de octubre de 2025A stylish, dark fairytale of a hitman and his young apprentice. A masterclass in mood, yet structurally complex. The Good Jean Reno delivers a beautifully restrained and layered performance as Léon, conveying deep emotion through stillness. Gary Oldman’s corrupt DEA agent is wonderfully unhinged, providing a truly memorable, over-the-top antagonist. Director Luc Besson creates an intoxicating, almost fairy-tale atmosphere in the gritty urban setting, highlighted by the lush, moody cinematography. The Bad The central relationship involving the young Mathilda (Natalie Portman) is highly problematic, bordering on uncomfortable, despite intentions. The script relies heavily on genre archetypes, occasionally sacrificing nuance for dramatic impact. Furthermore, the film's tone shifts abruptly between stylized action and maudlin sentimentality, which can feel jarring. A flawed but undeniably magnetic piece of 90s action cinema, propelled by two iconic performances. See it for the atmosphere and the acting clashes!
