Reviews

  • Surprisingly touching.

    Roger Ebert - The Chicago Sun-Times

  • Besson is an accomplished technician, and his choice of shots-with an emphasis on bizarre, low angles, darting camera movements and large, abstract color fields-is consistently entertaining if not particularly expressive.

    Dave Kehr - The Chicago Tribune

  • It's like "The Terminator" as reimagined by the editors of French Vogue.

  • Ludicrous. Its logic flies out the window like a rocket. It's unbelievable and ridiculous... But fascinating it is.

    Desson Thomson - The Washington Post

  • The film, like Nikita herself, becomes more conventionally sleek and less interestingly bizarre as it moves along.
