until i watch this film many year ago i would always associate foreign language film with more talky arty film and this show that there be top quality action film make outside hollywood too . the film open with a group of drug addict break into a pharmacy to steal drug and thing go wrong and most of them be shot and kill by the police . nikita however survives but she be capture and jail for the murder of a police officer . she doesn not end up in jail though she be take in by a government agency and give the choice of work for them or be kill . she choose to work for them and spend three year be train in a variety of skill that will enable her to work a an assassin . on her twenty third birthday bob and her handler and take her out of the training facility for the first time . she think it be just for a meal but end up have to kill somebody and then fight her way out of the restaurant . this be her final test before be allow to leave the facility and make a life for herself . she isn not totally free though and whenever the agency call she must drop whatever she be do and perform a mission . this be complicate by the fact that she now have a fiancé who do not know what she do . the action scene be all very stylishly execute and the acting seem good and although not speak french i have to rely on the subtitle to understand what be be say . i would certainly recommend this to anybody who like action film and especially to people who like luc besson later film leon and the main character of which be base on victor and the cleaner and in nikita .
