Mathilda (Natalie Portman) is only 12 years old, but is already familiar with the dark side of life: her abusive father stores drugs for corrupt police officers, and her mother neglects her. Léon (Jean Reno), who lives down the hall, tends to his houseplants and works as a hired hitman for mobster Tony (Danny Aiello). When her family is murdered by crooked DEA agent Stansfield (Gary Oldman), Mathilda joins forces with a reluctant Léon to learn his deadly trade and avenge her family's deaths.

One of the best debuts ever for an actress (Natalie Portman)

[anthonybroussard]

This is easily one of the greatest movies ever made.

[ericholt]

He saves her life. She saves his soul.

I watched this film when I was 9 years old. And 25 years later it suddenly just popped in my head that I want to watch it again. That is what I call a great film.

This movie its not about pedophilia, or the love of father and daughter. It is about true and pure love, Leon and Mathilda only have them and love each other in a sincere way, Mathilda had never felt loved and protected, and Leon felt an appreciation for life, and wanted to be happy to be with her . For me it is a beautiful story, and an excellent movie, a masterpiece, my favorite.

Jean Reno, Natalie Portman and Gary Oldman deliver such terrific performances in the first 15 minutes that most actors could not achieve in their entire careers.

[ZandeKongo]

One of the best and most coolest films ever made. Man, Jean Reno was awesome.

[rolfypaulino]

the movie trailer don't fully describes this movie. It is an art.

[charlottesaunders]

i found this movie during the first lockdown in april and have been obsessed ever since, my favourite movie by FAR

[aaliyah]

I watched this last night and I'm still not over it. 😭

[wiss]

The relation between those two in the movie reminds me of arya stark and the hound.

[ScissorhandsSnow-rhps]

This is a classic. I love that line Leon says "You've given me a taste for life, I want to be happy, sleep in a bed, have roots and never be alone again."

[ilijabrnic]

Watched it as a kid ..and now again after 20 years...masterpiece... this is a movie..a real deal..sad that most of people dont know about it.. Leon such a beast 👍

[pinkyboy]

Still the best movie of all time, the story, the aesthetic, the characters. Its so good, classic and memorable

[george]

A film about two people who brought together, under the harshest circumstances, who loved each other and gave meaning and motivation to each other.Not erotic or paternal (although the parallel with Lolita resonates throughout the story)but in a platonic way. And that is, in my opinion, the film's greatest achievement. That it presents their relationship, without leaving the viewer any trace of doubt about sexuality. The scenes they have together are emotionally tender, especially those they spend time together every day and enjoy simple things . A very beautiful story, a film about the awaken of feelings and the appreciation of life it shows that you can find love in such rare places.

[OVianense]

A film with so much build-up, filled with raw emotions and feelings with a film that is truly memorable, unforgettable, legendary, and filled with emotions that you honestly can't help but feel alongside the characters & the emotional story behind it, especially what happens at the end which just makes this film turn to a sudden turn of just pure sadness especially with the build-up & how emotionally intense it was. A film & song where its just pure black and white, a film & song that has such strong emotions & feelings from/to your heart. Its a film where you just feel pure raw emotion as if you're the character or if you're seeing it first hand in person. A film with such a perfect selection of a cast with such underrated actors such as Jean Reno, Natalie Portman debuting in her first ever film which launched her acting career, Gary Oldman, and so many others. A film with such an emotional bond that you honestly can't explain it fully, its something that you honestly have to feel it to experience it. Its a film that's meant to be experienced through emotion, not through explanation just like Leon whenever you would see his character's facial expressions of what he would feel, like the amount of strong emotion behind it, is incredible, especially towards the end of the movie where you'd expect it to end off in a happy ending but it ends sadly. It can't be described fully in words, just through your own heart & emotion, especially with how perfect the film was, like there's no flaws with it. It's a film filled with strong emotional, action-packed storyline and soundtracks that honestly make you feel sad for Leon and Mathilda as if you're a part of them. Jean Reno truly nailed the performance like hes so underrated, and it really shows the amount of talent Natalie had which started her career in one of the greatest films of all time like all the roles were nailed perfectly. Its just a masterpiece. Not only that but this movie didn't have much of a budget either, and it turned out to be so successful and one of the greatest films of all time, which you can't deny, its something that everyone agrees on, like it or not, it is. Luc Besson the director literally nailed it & also proved how even at the time you didn't need that need such a huge budget to accomplish these things, and what an era it was, and what a big name for European Films if not the greatest European film, in comparison with American films that need such a big budget to accomplish the effects, it really shows the difference between the two as all thats needed is raw emotion. Such a masterpiece, a film like I said filled with such an emotional bond that you honestly can't explain it fully, its something that you honestly have to feel it to experience it. Truly unforgettable, memorable and much more. I honestly wish it got more credit that it was unfortuantely given, it honestly deserved so much credit, especially an award for Jean Leno and his performance. Such a perfect selection, such a perfect story, film, and of course music selection. One of the few films where you experience raw emotion, and feelings. Like even the trailer itself is just amazing. A film that you honestly feel through your heart, its just heartfelt like the emotions of the film just go through your heart and makes you feel it as if you're one of the characters especailly as Leon and Maltithda, and not only that but heartbroken as well, especially at the end of the film where you see a flash of light slowly entering and then fading away knowing that hes passed & finally achieved the peace he wanted, while also having something to loose for, and love with actual roots being placed - a meaning for him which was Maltithda. Like even now, when I watched this movie, I still feel the emotions thats how strong it is, its attached, especially every time when you look back to it and it always hits you over and over again.

I would LOVE for Jean Reno and Natalie Portman to reunite in a movie soon. The man is in his 70s and they are for sure very great friends. I would hate for them to miss out on an opportunity like that. I'm hoping. Big fan of Jean Reno. Got a soft spot for the French man tbh lol

[sarahl]

Watched this again recently in my thirties compared to my teens. Jean, Natalie and Gary are all incredible and brought so much life into their roles. Natalie is also painfully beautiful and captivating, no matter when she graces the screen.

[carlos.rberto]

This is one of those few movies that you can watch again and again and it never gets boring or old.
And after watching it you can also listen the soundtrack hundreds of times, one of the best soundtracks.

[SandroM_]

90's movies were the GOLDEN era for movies.
Nowadays movies DONT have any FEEL to it anymore.
Change my mind!
