Leon - Der Profi Directors Cut
2-disc version including the Theatrical and the longer Director's cut. The Director's uncut version contains 24 minutes of extra footage deemed too explicit for American audiences.
As visually stylish as it is graphically violent, this thriller directed by Luc Besson concerns Mathilda (Natalie Portman), a twelve-year-old girl living in New York City who has been exposed to the sordid side of life from an early age: her family lives in a slum and her abusive father works for drug dealers, cutting and storing dope. Mathilda doesn't much care for her parents, but she has a close bond with her four-year-old brother. One day, she returns from running an errand to discover that most of her family, including her brother, have been killed in a raid by corrupt DEA agents, led by the psychotic Stansfield (Gary Oldman). Mathilda takes refuge in the apartment of her secretive neighbor, Leon (Jean Reno), who takes her in with a certain reluctance. She discovers that Leon is a professional assassin, working for Tony (Danny Aiello), a mob kingpin based in Little Italy. Wanting to avenge the death of her brother, Mathilda makes a deal with Leon to become his prot?? in exchange for work as a domestic servant, hoping to learn the hit man's trade and take out the men who took her brother's life. However, an affection develops between Leon and Mathilda that changes his outlook on his life and career. Besson's first American film boasted a strong performance from Jean Reno, a striking debut by Natalie Portman, and a love-it-or-hate-it, over-the-top turn by Gary Oldman.

Léon der Profi ist ein grossartiger Film, knallhart und wunderschön zugleich, durch seine Story und die brillanten Schauspieler fasziniert er unglaublich. Jean Reno in der Rolle des tragischen Killers spielt den Part seines Lebens, er übertrifft sich mit dieser Leistung selbst. Nicht minder beeindruckend ist Natalie Portman als Mathilda, für ihr Alter bietet sie eine perfekte Vorstellung. Erwähnen muss ich auch noch Gary Oldman, er verkörpert den durchgeknallten Bullen einfach grandios und liefert einen weiteren Beweis dafür, das ihm die Rolle des Bösewichts besonders liegt. Im Film erlebt man krachende Action wie auch ruhige, besinnliche Momente, alles ist perfekt ausgewogen, der Streifen überzeugt auf der ganzen Linie.

Diese Fassung (NTSC) ist im Endeffekt genausolang wie der deutsche Director's Cut! Vergesst die Geschwindigkeitsunterschiede zwischen der PAL- und der NTSC-Norm nicht immer!!!
