Spoiler Review: Leon The Professional

This film is a crime, drama, and thriller. It is about a young girl named Mathilda who hates her family apart from her little brother, she has her family killed by corrupt policemen because her farther messed with the drugs. This ends up in Mathilda being saved by Leon who further on in the movie ends up being like a farther figure to her. Later figuring out that Leon is a hitman she asks if he can train her so she can revenge her little brother’s death and the story goes on form there with the two characters slowly changing.

I thought this movie was alright it was lacking in mystery there was none to be exact there were no questions I was thinking of apart from what is going to happen next. The amount of suspense made up for its lack of mystery by me like I said ask what is going to happen next and there was lot of it the scene where Mathilda has an assault and is being taught how to shoot and she could pick a random target and I was thinking there is no way she could be shooting a real gun for her first lesson and it turned out to be a paint gun.

One thing the movie done well was its characters how they were portrayed and developed. You had Leon being a professional hitman very smart when it comes to killing and is respectful but he wasn't really generally smart, Mathilda a smart kid who is not so respectful and is pretty inexperience in life and love and then you had Stansfield the unstable one who takes pills to calm him down his the main boss of the corrupt policemen. The actors did a great job with Jean Reno as Leon, Gary Oldman as Stansfield and Natalie Portman as Mathilda. I also think that the plot twist was lacking because you could see that Leon was going to die you just knew because of how it was building up to it with a sort of final fight with him against the police force.
 
Overall I give this films plot twist a 4.5/10 for being too predictable
