French writer and director Luc Besson delivered a knockout with this stylish action thriller. A tough and violent female convict is given a second chance in life as an assassin for the government. Besson took a familiar story and created an original and breath-taking action film which also broke some new ground by reversing the genders. Anne Parillaud is perfect as Nikita and gets solid support from Tchéky Karyo and Jean-Hugues Anglade as the men who fall for her. Jeanne Moreau, Jean Reno and Philippe Leroy also appear in cameos for Besson's breakout film which has copied and imitated but never surpassed. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
