One of the best female assassin movies of all time, even if it is in French.
- In 1993, Nikita was remade in English as Point of No Return (The Assassin), directed by John Badham and starring Bridget Fonda.
- Like most of Besson's films, Nikita received relatively poor reviews by critics both in France and abroad. However, it has been acclaimed worldwide by the general public.
Director Luc Besson turns out this slick, action charged thriller that spawned two remakes, in which a cop-killing junkie (Anne Parillaud) is turned into a lethal trained assassin.
