Synopsis
Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner". But when his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent, he becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda. Before long, Mathilda's thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Léon's footsteps.

My commentary
I can understand that this is a cult movie but I did not personally liked it, beyond seeing Natalie Portman's first steps in acting.
