It's a great movie. Gary Oldman gives an awesome performance.
The director's cut gives a more detailed view of the relationship between Leon and Mathilda, with clear lines drawn between an adult and a preteen girl. Ironically the theatrical cut cut those parts for fear of making people uncomfortable, but by missing those scenes their relationship can be seen as creepier or more perverse than intended. Just one example of unnecessary censorship making a movie worse.
Made me a lifelong fan of Jean Reno, seeing him later in Big Blue, Mission Impossible, Ronin and the Da Vinci Code to name a few has been fun.

That was a really good movie. I saw it last year.
I always just called it The Professional. But yes i enjoyed that film tho the girl got on my mf nerves. I watched it a lot as a kid. The scene with her little bro and the gunshots is always the saddest scene
