I just couldn't stop shaking my head when I watched this movie on TV this evening.
A guy steals military secrets to sell to the Russians. At the same time a FBI agent is working undercover to reveal what's going on!! Of course everything is messed up and the agent is transporting our guy into custody, as an earthquake shakes L.A.!!
Of course all of this happens after we've seen the exact same car chase from the movie Metro with Eddie Murphy, who stops a runaway trolley with his car blocking the trolley slowing it down. And of course during this earthquake we also had to see the subway-cart rolling over and over just as we saw in Speed!! The earthquake where we also saw the same rock four times from different angles smashing through the windscreen of a car!! And saw the same man falling on the pavement four times from different angles, seeing his briefcase oppening with papers flying around!!
Don't rent this movie, avoid it... It has all been seen before and totally fails a reuse of scenes in this movie!!

The last Thursday in every month you can go buy a surprise-ticket in some of the Danish theaters - you've then bought a ticket for a movie you don't even know the title of!! I had "feared" this Surprise Premiere would be Eight Legged Freaks, but I had hoped the theater would have more sence than that to show this type of film - they lagged that!!!
Yes, I was sceptic, very sceptic, but as the movie got begun and we as the audience were pulled further and further into the story, you just got a point were you felt like saying:"Come ooon!!". A movie like this... in fact, this movie exactly shouldn't be taken seriously in any way, and perhaps that was my problem!! Watching some of the scenes gave the idea that movie TRIED to be serious, when it didn't work out like that in any of the attempts.
BUT, towards the end of the film, with the chase through the mall, and through the mine underneath the city, it became more and more "interesting" in a B-film-mid-20th-century-kind-of-way!!
Other people here who have given their comments to this film has brought up Mars Attacks and Arachnophobia - I would say Gremlins instead - especially the sound effects and the spiders-knocking-them-self-out-running-into-the-wall-scenes was a clear resemblance!!!

Leon, a truly fantastic film. I have now seen it 3 times, and every time it just gets better and better... To see Natalie Portman as the 12 year old girl "Matilda", who's family is killed by the DEA in a drug bust (that doesn't make the police less corrupt!)... And to see Jean Reno as the brilliant hit-man who "cleans"!
To see all the symbolic actions in the film, and to see how Natalie Portman truly gives her soul into making this film (her first!), and how she really i devoted to make this a great film...
If you should see this film, make sure to notice the plant, the girl, the hit-man and the milk - notice ALL what it represents to get the complete and deeper meaning of this film . . .
Luc Besson - Keep it up..... !
