Watched it for the first time. Great movie with great characters that you care about. Action was good even though the first scene was a little too over-the-top 80s-90s action. Natalie Portman has never been better

Jean Reno is great in this movie, with Arquette showing big boobs, and a sport mostly unknown in USA

This movie was fucking great. One of the few movies I saw as a kid and still enjoyed as I have gotten older

It has a surreal aura to it in the beginning. It settles after that when the girl goes with him. After that it's painting by the numbers. Only Oldman's blistering presence saves it.

No way crazy. This was a good flick. Oldman food as always but Portman was awesome. I think this was the first thing she did after Beautiful Girls. And probably the movie that made U.S. aware of Reno.

I liked Reno's character in La Femme Nikita. Still my favorite movie in that hitman genre. But The Professional was pretty good too.

Yes, "good"---I'll sign that. It's just the beginning with Portman's family (not the horseshit sequence where Reno gets the initial guy) was intriguing because it wasn't standard fare. One knew immediately it was not going to be business as usual. Then, just as I settled in---it was business as usual.

If she were a couple years older?... She already had that little nympho attitude so it's not like I'd be reaching

Really? So you've seen every movie that's ever been made? It's not exactly the movie that everyone talks about and it's the first time I've even seen that it's on tv

This movie was everywhere though. It wasn't a hidden gem or anything. Either you were too little to remember it or you live under a rock.

I don't about "everywhere". I don't know anyone that saw it at the theater. It's one of those that you either stumbled upon or knew someone who saw it and told you it was worth watching.

TBS wored this puppy out.

I didn't watch it on theaters either. I caught it on TV. You couldn't miss it.

It was dicey having the production selling the Portman girl's prepubescent sexuality. See, they get to that without fear of placement onto the National Sex Offender List. Her parents? They're lone concern was the cigarette smoking.

Therefore, the title wasn't mass released. It stayed on the coasts. Now, we can sit in our living rooms and pull that pud with impunity. She's of consent at life, and besides like a Sterling moment who's gonna know?

I don't know. Maybe. But I rarely will watch a movie with commercials so wouldn't have seen it on there. I suspect many have the same attitude.
I think we picked it up at Blockbuster.

Yeah. I don't know about all that other than you would not be in my top 10 choices as a baby sitter.

The baby would be safe, but, the mother's underwear drawer & hamper? Put both in the trunk and take them with you.

It was French director Luc Besson, 5th Element, Nikita, Taken

Makes sense, I'm not familiar with 5th & Nik, but, Taken loiters child pornography.

That must've been like 15 yrs ago cause I don't remember it ever being on TBS. You know it's been a good while considering their slogan has been "TBS: Very Funny"

Back when they actually showed movies and shit. Now all they show is corny comedy shows from that one gay black dude that likes to dress as a lady.

Do not understand the hype around this film at all. Hoping someone can explain it to me... all it seemed like was glorified pedophilia to me
