My Favourite film of all time. This film had it all (well, cinematically). It had great acting, big guns, excellent plot and dialogue, top camera work, and perfect direction- but most of all; it made an impact on me. It also starred an eleven year old Natalie Portman in her first role. She's now one of my favourite actresses, and I follow all of her work.

But Matilda is determined to get revenge on Stansfield for killing her 4-year-old brother.


    Best quote:
    Stansfield: "I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven."


    Best scene:
    The swat team storm scene at the end.

    All characters in the movie Leon were played with incredible realism, to a good script. This, really, is what makes a good movie.
