In this - the original - you see "Nikita" at its beginning and, most people agree, at her best. Anne Parillaud, an actress I've always found fascinating, is riveting as the lead character. Jean-Huges Anglade, Tcheky Karyo and Jean Reno provide a very strong supporting cast.
The characters were believable and it was refreshing to see a no-nonsense approach to a murder story, meaning if someone had to be killed, they were shot quickly with no questions asked. Some of the action scenes are brutal.
Parillaud's character is memorable. She can change appearances, from a hard- nosed hysterical animal to a real lady. It's also interesting to see Reno in a familiar role as a "cleaner," a role he made famous four years later in "Leon: The Professional."
The DVD provides either easy-to-read subtitles or a well-done dubbed version. If sound is important to you, you'll hear better stereo with the subtitled version.

Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe first scene Nikita appears in was the first one Anne Parillaud shot. Despite having only one line, Luc Besson had Parillaud deliver nearly a hundred takes. She later found out that he used the second take in the movie.
- GaffesFrench cops have a reputation for shooting first and asking questions later, but the first scene (the drug store robbery) is implausible anywhere in the world. When the officers in the patrol car realize that the burglars have weapons, they would secure the perimeter and call for reinforcements - not barge in guns blazing.
