Nikita (Anne Parillaud) is a drugged out violent criminal. When she and her cohorts end up in a drugstore shootout with police, she kills one of the officers. She's sentenced to life in prison. Then a secret organization breaks her out of prison, fakes her suicide, and Bob (Tchéky Karyo) trains her to be a secret agent.
This is Luc Besson as the cool french director. Sure it's not realistic, but it's super cool. One thing is sure. The man has style. And he has a few funny things to add. No where else is a guy getting slapped so hilarious. He's doing an action movie not with a muscle bound meat head, but with a skinny chick. The action looks good. The missions are memorable. They're over the top stylized ridiculousness.
