Léon: The Professional

IF YOU WANT THE JOB DONE RIGHT, HIRE A PROFESSIONAL.

Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner". But when his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent, he becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda. Before long, Mathilda's thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Léon's footsteps.

    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.
