The Professional

This movie is terrific in the depiction of the most lovable hit man ever. I just cant help but remember this movie with a lot of affection for Leon. I also liked the way this two characters got to depend on each other, because they had absolutely no one else in the world to rely on. They were the strangest couple ever, and even though some criticized this movie because it was too violent to include a 12 year old in it, I have to say again that I am sure there are a lot of kids who actually are surrounded by a violent environment. So, out with the moralistic view of those who think that the world is a perfect bubble where bad things don't happen to good and innocent people just because they have not happened to them. This is a movie about those who are completely lonely and find comfort in the strangest places. I also think that Gary Oldman's performance as the buy guy is just great. You get to hate him so much as the representative of the law and order side as you get to love Reno as a member of the criminal side. Great movie for me.
