At times sad, at times chilling, this tale of a professional hitman who gets drawn into the affairs of a corrupt DEA agent and the only survivor of the agent's wrath is a spectacular film. As usual, Jean Reno is a terrific actor who portrays the (sometimes naive) hitman, while Natalie Portman shines in her first major role on-screen. My only regret is how long it took me to finally see Léon: The Professional.

Maybe it's because it's about wine, or maybe it's because Paul Giamatti is one of my favourite actors, or maybe it's because I find the character interactions hilarious, but I love this movie.
