Rather than saying that there is no following, it is better to say that it is just right.

The sister film of "This Killer Is Not So Cold". The year of filming and production is earlier than Leon.

Nikita.

Her eyes are empty, her expression is loose, and her hair is messy, which brings out the feeling that all teenagers are confused. That's right. She is taking drugs. Go to rob a store. But in the whole hysterical robbery scene, she just sat in the corner with headphones on her head and did nothing. Had it not been for the policeman who walked in to clear the field and spotted her, I guess she would wake up the next morning and rub her eyes and go home. As if nothing happened. However, she curled up calmly in the corner and shot the policeman headshot. Immediately afterwards, the court sentenced her to death. After being injected with an injection, she woke up and found herself in a white room. The plot has just begun.

Bob.

It was he who discovered Nikita's rebelliousness, it was he who discovered her plasticity. He is a staff member of a state secret organization. He finds potential prisoners on death row and gives them a second life when the society recognizes them as dead. They are trained and then perform assassination missions for the country. Nikita was the person he found. In the base, he has a serious face, not only as her teacher, but also as warm as family. When he saw Nikita slapped the karate teacher because of his quick response, he would also smile secretly from the side. I once thought that he and Nikita might have a relationship similar to that of teachers and students.

Boyfriend.

On the first day of graduation from the base, Nikita ran into a supermarket cashier who had just come to work. Their rapidly developing relationship makes me feel abrupt. He is so inconspicuous, and Nikita, she has an unpredictable smile and a good-looking face. Luc Besson gave us such a sudden boyfriend, and I had to guess while watching him whether he would suddenly become the target of her mission one day. The result was no. The time they spend together is always warm.

At the beginning of the film, when I thought Nikita would really die, the story about her had just begun. When I think she will have an affair with Bob, they have never had and will never have an affair. When I thought Nikita would flee with her boyfriend and stay together for life, she left alone. Perhaps the two men who would miss her forever would fabricate her death again.

In this case, I have to say that I like the plot presented by Luc Besson. Not clichéd, not sentimental, the little humor that comes at any time, but it also shows the coldness that a killer should have. Of course, the part where Renault made a friendly cameo is even more enjoyable. After all, male assassins are more calm and bold than female assassins.

Although the whole movie leaves us room for thinking at the end, it is definitely not a stuffy movie, and it will not let us go away in depression and fog. In fact, everything, in my opinion, is not lacking, but just right.
