Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesThe film was based on a script that was set to be a sequel for Le professionnel (1994). The story was set to follow Natalie Portman's character Mathilda as she tracked down and killed characters that had wronged her and Leon. Due to rights issues with the studio behind the first film, it was canceled and the script was turned into this film.
- GaffesEarly on, 10-year-old Cataleya is running from the thugs who just killed her parents. She escapes by quickly jumping into a curbside storm drain opening which the thugs are too big to enter. Moments later, Cataleya is climbing out of a partially opened manhole cover in the middle of a busy street. Manhole covers are made of cast iron and weigh 249 pounds; she never would have been able to move it.

Don Luis Sandoval: You have ruined your whole life trying to kill me? Someone like me? I cannot be killed. I do the killing. And now it's your turn to be hunted. You will never find me. But as day follows night, believe me, I'll find you, and I will kill you! And you know why? Because I will never be where you want me to be!
Cataleya: Actually, you're exactly where I want you to be.
Don Luis Sandoval: Huh?

Don Luis Sandoval: Aah!

With some of the names behind this film, I was surprised at the abundance of cheesy bad guys, predictable scenes, and flat supporting characters. The only thing that moves this story along is Zoe Saldana herself with her tremendous presence on screen and beauty, which is breathtaking. She's very believable as a stone-cold assassin, especially the way she sneaks and crawls around with ninja like precision.
It's too bad they couldn't place Zoe and her character into a better storyline and provide her with stronger support. Without giving away the ending, there's also a final fist fight scene in the end which looked like it was filmed and edited by two high-school kids. Isn't this 2011? The technology there was very lacking or done in poor choice.
I still would recommend seeing the movie as its not bad-bad and there are some cool kill scenes, but I wouldn't qualify it as a must-see. The movie is somewhat groundbreaking only for the fact we have a Latina female as the lead role in an action film, hopefully this finally opens to the door for other darker skinned actresses in similar roles, which has been long overdue.
