one of the hallmark of a good european film be that it get to be re make in hollywood . director or producer or writer luc besson have receive this dubious honour twice and firstly with a remake of nikita and more recently with one of taxi . i can not comment on the american version of taxi and but the remake of nikita and know a point of no return or the assassin and isn not a patch on the original . nikita make me feel sympathy for the central character and to the extent that i be almost in tear at time . the story be a simple one of love and longing to be free and interspersed with besson trademark economical yet bloody action scene . nikita prove that there be more to cinema than hollywood .
