Nikita is young and attractive, but has already gone to the bad. During a hold up of a pharmacy (drug store) with her drug-crazed criminal gang, she deliberately kills a policeman, coldly shooting him in the face.
She is condemned to prison for life, but the French secret services, looking for cold blooded killers, have identified the potential in her. They offer her an alternative future. If she proves herself, she could become a secret agent herself. She accepts and starts a hard career.
Director Luc Besson manages to keep a high level of energy and our interest - from the opening scene – a violent drugstore shootout until the very last moment. A high adrenaline anti-heroine thriller.
IMDB Rating : 7.5 /10
