I did enjoy it, even though shoot-’em-up films aren’t my favorite genre. I’d seen the last half hour of the film about three times previously on TV and thus never knew why Leon was a sympathetic figure until seeing the whole thing.

I suppose that by having the hero mowing down police officers in defense of a young girl that the film might be saying that all cops are as corrupt as Oldman’s character, but that would be nitpicking.

I thought that the acting was great all around. Gary Oldman chewed a bit of the scenery, but I don’t really mind when a good actor plays it over the top.

Why do you doubt that M.B. has seen the movie? Do you suspect he has a cultural bias against European films?

Thanks for commenting,
Dan
