这个杀手不太冷
Léon: The Professional , also known as Léon , is a 1994 English-language French thriller film written and directed by Luc Besson. The film stars Jean Reno as the mob hitman Léon; Gary Oldman as corrupt and unhinged DEA agent Norman Stansfield; a young Natalie Portman, in her feature film debut, as Mathilda Lando, a 12-year-old girl who is reluctantly taken in by her neighbor Léon after her family is murdered.
《这个杀手不太冷》,又名《杀手里昂》,上映于1994年,由法国导演吕克·贝松编剧并执导,是一部以英语发行的法国惊险片。让·雷诺在片中饰演杀手里昂,盖瑞·欧德曼饰演贪污腐败而又精神失常的毒品探员诺曼·史丹费尔,年幼的娜塔丽·波特曼则首次担纲出演了一位12岁的小女孩玛蒂尔达·兰多,因为目睹全家被血洗的惨状,无奈投靠邻居里昂。
Léon is a hitman, living a solitary life in New York City's Little Italy. His work comes from a Mafioso named Tony who operates from the “Supreme Macaroni Company” restaurant. Léon spends his idle time engaging in calisthenics, nurturing a houseplant that early on he describes as his “best friend”. One day, Léon sees Mathilda, a twelve-year-old girl who is smoking a cigarette and sporting a black eye. Then a story of killing and being killed rolls on.
身为杀手的里昂,独居在纽约市的“小意大利区”。他的任务都受领于黑手党成员托尼,托尼经营着一家名叫“极品通心粉”的餐馆。没有任务时,里昂会在家做健身运动,或是照顾他“最好的朋友”——一株盆栽。一天,里昂看到这个12岁的姑娘玛蒂尔达抽着烟,一双黑眼睛瞅着自己。于是,一场复仇与追杀的故事便展开了。
The Empire magazine commented the film as “oozing style, wit and confidence from every sprocket, and offering a dizzyingly, fresh perspective that only Besson could bring, this is, in a word, wonderful”. Time magazine lauded the film, writing, “This is a Cuisinart of a movie, mixing familiar yet disparate ingredients, making something odd, possibly distasteful, undeniably arresting out of them”.
《帝国》杂志评论该片时,认为“每一个环节都彰显着个性、才智和自信,这种新奇的拍摄视角只有贝松才能做到。总而言之,这部影片太精彩了”。《时代》杂志也称赞道:“这真是一道精心烹制的电影盛宴,用料各异却尝来熟悉,选料奇怪甚至令人厌恶,但做出来的却是上等佳肴。”
