A beautiful felon, sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a policeman, is given a second chance – as a secret political assassin controlled by the government.
Acting
Parillaud's feral-to-femme-fatale transformation is genuinely unhinged.
Direction
Besson at peak style-over-substance, and it absolutely works.
Score
Éric Serra's synth-heavy soundtrack screams 1990 in the best way.
