Not A Review Of “Léon: The Professional“

So having recently achieved an unexpectedly positive response to the Luc Besson film “Lucy” — my wife stayed awake for fully 45 minutes! — I decided to bump up another Besson film that had been languishing for a while towards the bottom of the queue:  “Léon: The Professional“.

How did that turn out, you ask? It turned out like this:

Me (removing disc from player): “That movie was two hours and thirteen minutes long.”
Wife: “And I just watched the whole thing?”
Me: “Yes, you did.”
Wife (pause): “Can you find other movies from this director?”

And so, “Nikita” is now up at the top of the queue. I’m not planning on bringing in Besson’s “The Fifth Element” though:

That, I suspect, might be one taxi ride too far.
