Leon - The Professional Movie Streaming.
Movie Title: Leon - The Professional Leon - The Professional is available for streaming or downloading. |
I fill both the US and international versions of this film, and the international edition is powerful better. Both versions carry a minute sexual tension throughout between Leon and Matilda, and the uncut version is more pronounced in this state, but that isn’t the reason to recall it.
The extra 24 minutes on the uncut version provides a deeper idea of the relationship between the two as the film progresses. For example, in the US version Matilda never becomes a staunch “cleaner” or hitman. It’s only hinted at when they shoot a jogger from a rooftop with blanks. In the uncut version, Leon takes her completely under his flit and teaches her the trade, including scenes where the pair rush around killing awful guys and such. In the process, Leon teaches her the “ring trick” by tossing a grenade at a victim and keeping the ring and grenade pin in his hand. This scene sets up the final scenes in the movie in a plot that the US version left short and unexplained.
If you enjoyed the US version, you’ll probably savor the uncut version more, if only because the characters and their relationships are powerful deeper.
French director Luc Besson (”The Messenger”; “The Fifth Element”) made his U.S. film debut with this smart thriller of an Italian hitman who is untouchable. “The Professional” stars Jean Reno (”The Stout Blue”) who plays Leon, a professional hitman with ninja-like skills, who eliminates rivals for a mob boss (Danny Aiello) .

After a despicable cop (Gary Oldman) eliminates the family residing next door due to a drug transaction gone deplorable, Leon finds himself the guardian of young Mathilda (Natalie Portman in her mask debut) . Taking Mathilda under his helm, Leon teaches her the art of the “cleaner”. However, grief lurks around every corner, and Leon must protect Mathilda from the same cops who killed her family.
Considered by many to be his masterpiece, “The Professional” was originally released internationally under the title “Leon”. However due to the feeling that American audiences might earn some material unacceptable, over 24 minutes of the film was edited out. Finally, Columbia/Tri-Star has made an capable decision in releasing the uncut, international version of this apt film in the U.S. as it originally was called in August 2000.
While the film’s central theme revolves around Leon and his job, the subplot where Mathilda develops an attraction for Leon is reminiscent of the novel/film “Lolita”. The chemistry between both characters in a father/daughter relationship can be intense, especially as we discover that Mathilda is in her puberty-stage.

Jean Reno is good as always, and Gary Oldman gives a chilling performance as Stansfield, the detestable DEA officer who murdered Mathilda’s family in wintry blood. However, the proper scene-stealer in this film has to be Natalie Portman. This stunning young girl radiates beauty and professionalism throughout the film. Her porcelain-looking skin, and her vast brown eyes are well utilized in this film, making her character more childish, yet extinct to a sure extent. Portman proved to audiences in this film that she was no flash in the pan, and in her subsequent films, she continues to be a scene-stealer. She is truly Hollywood’s most gifted young actress.
In the international version, most of the 24 minutes that were left out in the film’s 1994 release in the U.S. mainly involves both Leon and Mathilda going on “cleaning sweeps” where she gets first hand training in the art of assassination. The other half of these minutes focuses on Mathilda’s attraction to Leon. Her persistent attempts to be intimate with Leon all fail, but we finally understand why Leon remains a loner when it comes to affairs if the heart. Some might be discouraged about the notion of Mathilda and Leon sharing a bed together, but Besson paints this scene as one provocative platonic cherish and not sex.
In wrapping up, I recommend this film for anyone who enjoys a nonstop, high-impact thriller in the same tradition as the “Matrix,” “Blade,” or “Lifeless Tranquil”. Luc Besson truly is one of the world’s greatest action directors, and “Leon” captures his magic. An estimable, pulstaing film from beginning to ruin!
