Leon (4½ Stars)
This unusual film breaks all the rules, but is a phenomenal success. Leon is a professional killer who has no personal life. He lives to do his job. One day he saves the life of a 12-year-old girl called Mathilda. He decides to take care of her, acting as a father figure to her, but she falls in love with him. The film is shocking, but riveting from beginning to end. No offence meant to Natalie Portman, who plays Mathilda, but this was the peak of her career and I doubt she will ever reach these heights again.
