Nerve? Acting?!

A typical European movie, even though the protagonist is a special agent, should have a lot of thrilling scenes, but the pace of the movie has not been accelerated. The lengthy storyboards and the excessively neurotic performance of the heroine have deducted a lot of points in the hearts of audiences who grew up watching Hollywood movies. Lighting, photography, etc., however, is another style.

The film is highly valued in Europe, especially in France. In 1991, the French Caesar Award was nominated for 9 awards, including the best film and the best director and other important awards, and finally won the best actress award.

Pure personal opinion, even if the heroine gets César Best Actress, her performance is unreasonably neurotic.

The heroine Nikita's experience can be divided into three parts: The first part, Nikita is a drug-addicted girl. In a robbery, she shot and killed a policeman and was sentenced to death. In fact, she was secretly selected by the government to be trained as a Agent. The crazy girl who hits everyone, the roaring without a head, the hysterical crying and abnormal behavior, the heroine is absolutely competent. The second paragraph, during the training period, Nikita has been imprisoned in a secret base, isolated from the world, from resistance to compromise, from madness to inner frugality, the heroine's performance is not lost. In the third paragraph, the training is completed. Nikita's usual identity is a hospital nurse, but she is actually a puppet killing machine. The main force of the whole film is the relationship between Nikita and the supermarket cashier. The split behavior, too many secrets to guard, and neurotic behavior is really understandable. I personally think that if the heroine's acting skills can be more thrifty, it will be even better. can be convincing.

The similar Korean film "Life and Death" should be more acceptable to Hong Kong audiences.
