Mob hit man Jean Reno adopts suddenly orphaned 12-year-old Natalie Portman when her family is murdered by maniacal cops in a drug deal gone bad. In a curious decision, he teaches her how to become a hit man as well, complete with rooftop gun lessons aimed at innocent pedestrians. Despite her blooming sexuality, some implied and some not so, they develop a father-daughter type of relationship and he takes up her cause to revenge the killing of her family. Engrossing and superbly filmed with characters that somehow make you care for them, despite the questionable morality on display and Portman's annoying precociousness.
