Watch in French with subtitles on. Trust me!
By a customer from North Wales , 09 Sep 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
This original Luc Besson version is darker and more believable than the american version with Bridget Fonda (The assassin), It must be watched in French with the subtitles on, It is worth the effort. Do not be tempted to turn the English dubbing on cos it will spoil the film. In the French language a lot more emotion and depth is convayed. The plot is good and this is a film worth a look even if you are not the 'usual' foreign film watcher.- Was this review helpful to you?

(116)What's the big deal?
By a customer , 23 May 2013I don't understand all the hype about Nikita. She was meant to be a first for cinema, femme fatale. However, her character could have been better. It should have been someone with a cool attitude (e. g. Lara Croft, Sigourney Weaver), not someone who's (still) emotionally unstable right to the end. Nikita suddenly gets thrust into top-priority assignments, without much prior notice or preparation. Would prefer something like Bourne or other spy thriller.- Was this review helpful to you?

It's a movie in French!
By a customer , 09 Feb 2013First of all, this movie is in French. Second of all, it is a French production. If you can stand these two things, than watch. It's not bad. It's the very classic Nikita story.- Was this review helpful to you?

The only Nikita movie you need to watch
By AndyFromOxford (22 reviews) from Oxford , 25 Sep 2012I've watched it a few times and always enjoy stylish Nikita. Basically if you enjoy the American spin off series then you'll like this and ten times better than the Hollywood remake.- Was this review helpful to you?

Nikita's still got it
By a customer , 05 Apr 2012I first saw this film on video rental quite some years ago now so having just watched it again all these years later, I was delighted to discover it has lost none of its punch. Anne Parillaud is outstanding as the physical and mental blows obstruct her contracts. The soundtrack is extremely atmospheric like a cross between Jan hammer and Tangerine dream. This film comes highly recommended; a word of warning though the Hollywood remake-the assassin- is a far far inferior version.- Was this review helpful to you?
