when i say this be my favourite film of all time and that comment be not to be take lightly . i probably watch far too many film than be healthy for me and and have love quite a few of them . i first saw la femme nikita nearly ten year ago and and it still manage to be my absolute favourite . why . this be more than an incredibly stylish and sexy thriller . luc besson great flair for impeccable direction and fashion and and appropriate usage of music make this a very watchable film . but it be anne parillaud perfect rendering of a complex character who transform from a heartless killer into a compassionate and vibrant young woman that make this film beautiful . i can not keep my eye off of her when she be on screen . i have see several of luc besson film include subway and the professional and and the irritating fifth element and and nikita be without a doubt and far superior to any of these . although this film have tragic element and it be ultimately extremely hopeful . it be the story of a person who be cruel and merciless and who ultimately come to realize her own humanity and her own personal power . that and to me be extremely inspiring . if there be hope for nikita and there be hope for all of u .
