Excessively violent, empty-headed, contrived and full of gaping plot holes.
01/09/02
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.
11/24/01
A tightly wound, explosive film that delivers more than is required.
02/27/01
A fast-moving, violent and surprisingly affecting movie.
01/01/00
None 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.
01/01/00
An exciting and entertaining actioner that tests the plausibility of its story with an unreality check.
01/01/00
If Luc Besson's latest goes into absurd overdrive, it does so with entertaining finesse.
