goose Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Horror in the High Desert I lived in the Northeast NV area for five years in the 80s, so all the geographical references hit home. Pretty well done, I thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 "Leon: the Professional" Am a big fan of Jean Reno, and he was perfect for the role of Leon, a professional hitman and now unlikely child-minder for lost, lonely and vengeful 12 year old Matilda (another truly wonderful performance by Natalie Portman). And of course the appearance of wild man and cold-blooded killer, Gary Oldman, is a bonus. Despite repeat viewings I still feel a little uncomfortable with the "flirty" relationship going on - perceived or otherwise - between Leon and the 12 year old. But other than that this is a stellar thriller with an exceptional performance from Portman and a pounding score by the ever-dependable, Eric Sera. 4/5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a mad look in his eyes, mad as a hatter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has extra points from he because it's one of few films to feature Andrew Robinson (Scorpio from Dirty Harry). I saw another one the other day Trancers III, he stole the film of course. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonatine Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 Ranks as one of my ultimate French classics. A superb tense thriller from start to almost finish. The only weakest link for me was the ending, which was just a little bit too silly and out of place with the drama leading up to it. Other than that this is a masterpiece of French cinema. 4/5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a subscriber to the Joe Bob Briggs archive page run by Darcy the Mail Girl and she just uploaded some clip of him on his Movie Channel show with JBB interviewing him for "Slimeball Month". One of those was Trancers III. Also, you can't go wrong with Spoiler Clancy Brown as the villain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
