I don't give a &*$@ about sleeping, Leon. I want love, or death. That's it.
Luc Besson's first English language film was also the breakout role of Natalie Portman. That being said, this movie really could only be directed by a Frenchman. Seriously, a twelve-year-old girl gets "adopted" by a hitman after her family gets murdered. That would be an interesting movie if it ended there, but, of course, there's more. The hitman then agrees to train the girl in the ways of being a good "cleaner". This movie could have easily turned into a very uncomfortable affair if not for the acting prowess of Portman and Jean Reno. Gary Oldman also cements his evil genius role that he would reprise again and again over the next decade.
