Point of No Return

Pros: Convincing charactors.
Cons: Not Harvie Keital best role.

The talented Bridget Fonda plays the title role. The plot involves a secret agency recruiting condemned petty criminals and trains them to be unquestioning assassin. The twist is the good guy or girl in this case is the killer. The baddy is the...

Pros: A strong Bridget Fonda performance; fidelity to the original film.
Cons: Fans of the original may find it a bit too faithful.

A dark-haired, dirty, rude, brutal drug-addicted murderer. A red-haired, clean, classy, and efficient assassin. Two completely different personalities--one woman's transformation. In this solid remake of the 1990 French hit La Femme Nikita, what...

Pros: Bridget Fonda
Cons: Everything else: it's a pointless remake of a great film

Pros: Plenty of action sequences and soild acting from Bridget Fonda
Cons: Offers nothing new over the original except being in Engish. Background music is irritating

I stumbled upon this film when a friend got out the wrong film one evening and I was in many ways pleasantly surprised. I recognised it as being nearly scene for scene the same as the original Nikita by Luc Besson and I was interested to see hwo things...

Pros: Interesting to watch in conjunction with the other two
Cons: It's like getting deja vu all over again.

Pros: story line
Cons: none

The story line makes you look over your shoulder and wonder what the person next to you really does for a living. Well written, well cast and very nice acting. Great for the "CIA is everywhere" persona.
