Old Movies--The Cleaner

[Jack of Tales]

I got this movie from the shop nearby after someoen told me I should see it. Easily one of my favorite movies ever! <3 Leon

Also got sent this clip from that same friend: link on youtube. It's the funniest part of the movie o.o

Yeah, that was called "The Professional" in the US. "The Cleaner" was a crap movie with Cedric the Entertainer over here. Ugh.

Anyway, that's really the first time I'd seen Jean Reno in a starring role, and I was blown away. It's a really good film.

IIRC, the American version ("The Professional") had a few scenes cut out & rearranged so it was less "edgy" than the original version ("The Cleaner").

I've saw it on TV a while back. It had some really sweet moments, but man . . . there were some seriously creepy moments too. And not in a good way. :shock:

Even my sister said, "Dude, that's wrong."

And she's a complete perv. ;)

Yea the little kid was..creepy o.O but I just glossed over that in my head :X

As mentioned by Dr A, the international cut (also known as Leon or Leon:The Professional) is the way to go with this one, even sweeter/creepier/cooler than the original, and it's one of my top ten films of all time :twisted:

La Femme Nikita is also great, and has Reno starring as a much more inept form of cleaner, which was the character Luc Besson used as the inspiration of Leon; it also led to the US cable show of the same name starring Peta Wilson.

They put them back in for Leon the Professional. It is a little creepy, but still a great movie
