I was wondering if anyone else has fond memories of the flick? Other than that, one of the reasons i love this movies is that it's one of few movies that prominently features Jean Reno that i like. He's the frenchmen in the movie. One of his lesser moments in acting was in the "Godzilla" remake movie. Still, i liked him in that one too.

But another reason would be towards the end with the S.W.A.T. Confrontation. That's a classic movie scene if i ever saw one.

Minor details i liked was Natalie wearing a choker. It looked good on her. Another thing i liked about the movie was that it had a interesting character dynamic of a hitman taking care of a child. I always liked that.

Anyways discuss if you liked the movie or not if you're crazy.

I, for one, am not crazy. Loved this movie!

The opening scene where they introduce Leon is incredible. Especially when he's standing in the shadows and the "mark" walks right into his hands, literally. Then he just hands him a phone so he can talk to the client and........ well, if you haven't seen it, you can guess what happens.

Anyway, great movie. Though a little strange how they portray the relationship between the two as actual love, and not father-daughter type of love.

Yes, that is a great scene. Still, i think towards the end where the D.E.A. agent says:

Bring Everyone.

Everyone?

E-V-E-R-Y- ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

may not be the most quoted line in movie history but it left it's mark on me lol.

I also liked when they went target practicing Waiting ;)
