From director Luc Besson ( The Fifth Element ) comes this "wild and irresistible" ( New York Post ) thriller about a vicious street punk turned sexy, sophisticated and lethally dangerous assassin. Starring Anne Parillaud, Jeanne Moreau and Jean Reno, La Femme Nikita is "slick, stylish and tremendously entertaining" ( The New York Times )! Rescued from death row by a top-secret agency, Nikita (Anne Parillaud) is slowly transformed from a cop-killing junkie into a cold-blooded bombshell with a license to kill. But when she begins the deadliest mission of her career only to fall for a man who knows nothing of her true identity Nikita discovers that in the dark and ruthless world of espionage, the greatest casualty of all... is true love. Review: Proof that a remake is not always necessary - Luc Besson should be fairly well known by now, even here in the USA, with his involvement in the recent From Paris with Love, The Transporter movies, and writing credits for The Fifth Element, District 13, and Kiss of the Dragon. Here he is directing (back in 1990)arguably some of his best work. Those unfamiliar with him in the Directors chair should check out Le Grand Blue: The Big Blue (Director's Cut) which is sadly still not available here in Blu-Ray format and Léon: The Professional (Theatrical and Extended Edition) [Blu-ray ] as well as the aforementioned Fifth Element. In time honored fashion of course, this movie gained little exposure back in the 90's so a remake was deemed necessary, casting the always appealing Bridget Fonda in the lead role, and the movie was remade for US audiences, and renamed Point of No Return [Blu-ray ] Whether it was the fact that Nikita is in French, or some other reason, and although the remake was not a turkey by any means, with some more explosive hollywood style action, it remains tepid in comparison for the depth of drama that Nikita brings out amid the action. Nikita, is a bummed out drug addict with no future, friends or family, a mendicant who embodies all that is bottom feeding trash. She is taken (or rather kidnapped) by a government agency, cleaned up and trained to be a cold blooded assassin. Why? you may ask (as one reviewer did) well I would surmise that she wouldn't be missed by anyone, recognizable to anyone, and of course would becompletely expendable. What follows is a gritty high speed drama, of the type Besson has become associated with. Brutal at times, and almost frenetic, but thoroughly absorbing and as good an action drama as that decade produced. Tcheky Karyo is excellent as her hard nosed handler, and Jean Reno pops up as the "cleaner" a similar role to which he starred in 4 years later in the excellent Leon:The Professional (mentioned above). But the film belongs hands down to Anne Parillaud who sizzles on screen, sexy and smart, emotional charged, ruthless and yet inwardly scared and confused, a real powerhouse performance. This is a great movie, some may find the 90's narrative a little dated but it's more than worth a watch. The Blu-Ray transfer is clean, not exceptional, but still very good. Review: better than those two shows combined thats based on this film - I have to start off with negative there are no deleted scenes features and no behind the scenes feature as well even those this is a 2008 rerelease for the blu ray version. also [minor nitpick] it starts off by default with subtitles that doesn't match what's been said during the film audio and speaking audio i also had to switch the language i understand its a french film that later gained a popularity that spawn two tv shows in u.s. [2000's reboot NIKITA] and Canada - [95 la femme Nikita]. this should've been a two or even three-hour movie just ending it with a cliffhanger really left a bad taste in my mouth. u don't have enough time to learn about bob that's changed for the tv show counterpart as Michael along with other characters 1 hour 58 minutes isn't enough time to properly understand what's going on it feels just as rushed as the shows but not as convoluted as the tv shows. the good thing i can say about this film is that her back story is fully flushed out which i can't say about the two shows that's based on this movie. she behaves oddly at first there's so much mystery she's about to turn 19 but unlike the tv shows counterpart that she's 19 through the entire film after everything has transpired unlike the tv shows that flip around different times and origins story and just being all over the place the tv shows are a mess the only timeline that we spend with this character is a day (spoiler) she straight up kill a cop watching her friends trashing a store inside and was sentenced for life in prison and flips out in courtroom then we see her getting a lethal injection after that she told bob tomorrow was her birthday he sends her a cake then took her to a "date" before she realizes he was only here to brief her about her mission nikita is reckless and then as we progress through the story she became more and more professional [something we don't get to see in any of the shows] alot a great character dynamic between nikita and bob i just wish there was more time! its still a classic movie this is the type of movie i would've for hours but due to having no deleted scenes and bonus footage. my feels about this movie is 50/50 still love it and recommend adding to your collection ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Anne Parillaud, Jean-Hugues Anglade, Luc Besson | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,359 Reviews | | Genre | Action & Adventure, Mystery & Thrillers | | Language | French | | Runtime | 117 minutes | | Studio | Import | ## Images ![La Femme Nikita - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vLx6Iw9DL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Proof that a remake is not always necessary *by A***6 on August 12, 2010* Luc Besson should be fairly well known by now, even here in the USA, with his involvement in the recent From Paris with Love, The Transporter movies, and writing credits for The Fifth Element, District 13, and Kiss of the Dragon.

This movie and review have nothing to do with the USA TV show by the same name. I never watched that. This has nothing to do with Point of No Return, the atrocious American remake. Unfortunately, I did watch that. This review is for the original, real deal Luc Besson film, in French, the OG. Do not watch the dubbed version. You can read, right? Of course you can. Never watched a film with subtitles? Give it a shot. After a few minutes, you won't even realize you're reading them. No one could dub the word "Josephine" with the same power as the original French pronunciation. I'm getting chills just thinking about it. Nikita is the seed for our modern badass girl action. Drew Barrymore's Charlie's Angels, which is super fun, comes a year after Nikita so obviously already long in production. But CA's is as much a comedy as anything else. While Nikita has its moments, it is not a comedy. It is a wonderfully violent horror show based more in reality than most action movies. Without Nikita, there is no Charlize Theron or Scarlett Johansson or Milla Jovovich, the latter two also cast by Luc Besson. It's still my favorite action movie. I'm pretty sure it always will be. It's by far the most stylish, dark and haunting. It's all about character development until it's all about action. It's worth the wait. Trust Luc! He is taking you somewhere. You are so deeply invested by the time Nikita is put into service, you apprehensively creep towards the edge of your seat and never leave it, not for like 5 minutes after the credits role. If you are a bit of a leaker and cry at some point, it's not my fault. It put Luc Besson on the international map. His next movie was The Professional (where he "discovered" Natalie Portman). It was in English. As far as I know, he hasn't made more than a couple of French films since. Most of the actors, emigrated, learned English (if they weren't already fluent) and now appear regularly in our US entertainment. If you loved The Professional, watch this. It's loads better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/175288065-la-femme-nikita](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/175288065-la-femme-nikita) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-27*
