I've just watched this film tonight, after great recommendations from my uncle.

I sat down, turned the lights off put it in and I really didn't know what to expect from this film. I thought it might just be another passively watched action film but I was really brought into the storyline and the whole film was just stunning. I think that the fact it wasn't just 'action action action goal' like some hollywood style films made me enjoy it more, the character driven storyline was amazing.

I thought that Jean Reno was an excellent actor in this film, convincing and someone I will now imagine if I ever have to recall a hitmans appearance. The young Natalie Portman, who you might just have thought to be an annoying kid played a great role, this was her first film and I'm sure this really set her off in her acting career.

Throughout this films decent visuals and themed score I can't really name much that was out of place, although I thought that the end resembled Delicatessen, a french film I've seen, which was weird.

Overall just a great film; I really recommend it to anyone! :)

Yeh Sic, I can take your point exactly, but as I had no expectations of it I was just watching for how it was like and I did enjoy it, due to many different aspects. I seem to like quite a lot of films I watch though so I guess I'm not the best critique, although I was in the mood for a film tonight as I had nothing to do!

I can easily see why you're other half liked it due to the emotional involvement. :)

are you trying to say i'm emotionless?? :(;)
noo man, but women are emotionally driven, where as men are logical, so this would have reached out to her like that. :p

And Chaapa'ai errrrr, I guess I sort of know what you're getting at, when she says 'he's my lover' that sounds a bit wrong.

Oh and I watched this version (below), yet I'm not sure if it's the uncut or not.
