Critics Consensus: Pivoting on the unusual relationship between seasoned hitman and his 12-year-old apprentice -- a breakout turn by young Natalie Portman -- Luc Besson's Léon is a stylish and oddly affecting thriller.

Reel Film Reviews

David Nusair

...a mostly enthralling thriller that captures the viewer’s interest and attention from the word go...

There's a surprising amount of depth, drama, and affection for a film marketed primarily as a shoot-'em-up thriller.

... the awesomeness of some of its scenes like the final showdown which is just breathtaking in its beautiful violence.

Unquestionably, Leon is an absolute masterpiece with some jaw-dropping performances from Natalie Portman, Jean Reno, and a turned-up-to-11 Gary Oldman.

Luc Besson's first English-language hit is, like much of the Frenchman's work, less than subtle, yet it is stylish, disturbing and weirdly moving.
