There are elements of comedy, drama, and action, and great original music by Eric Serra adds to the energy the film already encapsulates.
Portman, Oldman, and Reno, along with Danny Aiello as the hit-contractor Tony remind us that there is no substitute for great acting. Without the overuse of special effects, a large shooting location, or a commercially star studded cast, we are given all that could possibly be asked for in a movie. Oldman offers us a memorable portrait of a sadistically obsessed man who stops short of nothing to get what he wants. Gary Oldman, as the corrupt DEA Agent Norman Stansfield, offers the viewers an amazingly wired and electrical performance which pushes the envelope. Jean Reno as Lon gives us a solemn and calculated character who sets all of his energy on his assignments until her is given something else to care about.
Mathilda and Lon are unexpectedly thrown together, but learn to value life from their chance encounter, and how valuable a friendship can be. Her ability to relate to others with body movement and facial gestures is matched by few, she really brings raw emotion and believability to a difficult role. The performance delivered by then twelve-year old Natalie Portman as Mathilda is nothing short of brilliant. His secluded world is shattered by the young girl named Mathilda who lives on the same floor as he does in an apartment building. Jean Reno plays a character named Lon who has learned to repress his emotions in order to perform his job as a quot cleanerquot, or hit-man. Now, the conflict between a killer, who slowly discovers his abilities to live, to feel, to love and a corrupt police officer.ĭownloaded 157865 times 4202012 2:05:37 AM Director Luc Besson Cast Danny Aiello Natalie Portman Jean Reno Gary Oldman Tech specs 1080p 720p 1.70G 1920812 R English 24 132 min PS 14 58 856.89M 1280544 R English 24 132 min PS 7 29 Movie Reviews Reviewed by Methos-7 10 Luc Besson39 s movie Lon (The Professional) gives us an intense story which is maximized in potential by the casting of the movie done by Todd Thaler.Įvery aspect of the movie delivers to the audience and makes an impressive overall package.
