Nikita, also known as La Femme Nikita, is a French movie about Nikita Taylor (Anne Parillaud), a convicted heroin addict, who is given a chance at freedom in exchange for becoming a trained assassin for a top secret agency.

But once she graduates from her training and begins her life in Paris as a secret assassin, she falls in love, and struggles to maintain a normal life with her boyfriend while keeping her dangerous life as a killer hidden from him.

Nikita was nominated for nine César Awards, with Anne Parillaud winning the Best Actress category.

A 1993 American remake called Point of No Return, starring Bridget Fonda, Gabriel Byrne and Dermot Mulroney received poor reviews and a lukewarm reception at the box office.

1. The strange gun that Nikita uses in Venice is a silenced Steyr AUG, an Austrian made assault rifle.
2. Luc Besson and Anne Parillaud, now divorced, have one child together.

1. Amande: "There are two things that are infinite: femininity and means to take advantage of it."
2. Amande: "Let your pleasure be your guide."
