Leon: Director's Cut - £4.99 delivered @ HMV (RRP 15.99)


£4.99

628°

FOUND BY: Kiddson 1 month, 2 weeks ago

French director Luc Besson (The 5th Element, Arthur And The Invisibles) tackles his first American movie in this unusual tale of Leon (Jean Reno), a stoic assassin who develops a reluctant relationship with an orphaned 12-year-old girl (Natalie Portman, in an excellent debut performance). When a corrupt DEA official (Gary Oldman) murders the girl's parents in a botched drug deal, the diminutive New Yorker has no one to turn to but Leon, the hit man down the hall. A combination of thrilling action and heartfelt emotion, LEON is a remarkably unique and engaging film.

If you haven't seen it, here's your chance. I could go on and on about how Nathalie Portman was revealed as the star she is now, how Jean Reno will take your breath away with this very emotional rendering of a killer that you cannot help but like, or how Gary Oldman sets the path for himself to becoming an acclaimed villain, but it's probably better you see it for yourself. And when the closing credits open to Sting's emotional "Shape of my Heart", I'd be surprised if you didn't have tears coming to your eyes. In one word it's one of my very favourite movies...

Could the cowardly cold voters say where you can get this cheaper please? I loved this film and would like to see the directors version.

Didn't this go out of print a while ago?
Good decision to bring it back.


Don't forget Quidco.

This film was so difficult to find not long ago. I assume its probably a little easier to find now that the blu-ray is/soon to come out. So i'm giving this heat.
