Very stylish and wicked, but it's the magnetic title performance that makes it a classic.

Begins with the materials of a violent thriller but transcends them with the story of the heroine's transformation.

Top CriticNone of this would be nearly as interesting if it weren't for the startling central performance by Anne Parillaud as Nikita and the stylish direction of Luc Besson.

With a good cast, slick production values, and gritty action, it passes an enjoyable two hours.

My attention never fails to drift from Besson's first international smash when his film detours into James Bond mediocrity...but [the picture] ends strongly.

This Besson thriller sparked many a wannabes, but it's clear this film stands on its own two feet, and kicks you in the head.
07/16/07
Just another action movie, with the usual tenuous-at-best grip on reality.
07/06/03
A spy version of Pygmalion, complete with perverse romance, Nikita was well ahead of the curve when it came to women warriors as modern shoot-'em-up stars [Blu-ray].
