His role as a crooked drugged out cop in the professional was excellent.

Uhh Bollywood is notorious for ripping off a lot of movies. I laughed so much when I saw their remake of The Matrix.

Why not?

It is better than the copies of foreign films we get in the states.

you thought that was better? that was complete crap, I mean jesus just compare the scene where gary oldman yells "everyone" to the beggining of that clip. It felt like a highschool play rendition of the movie. Explain to me how this is better than the foreign movies we have here.

Not better than the original, a better choice to copy it as much as possible as opposed to when they get redone here they ineivtably water it down.

that doesnt make sense either because whats the point in watching a remake that doesnt stray from the movie it copied? Wouldnt it make more sense to just watch the original if both moves are exactly the same? Remakes are better when they use the source material to make a better movie. Look at Ringu compared to The Ring. The Ring ended up being better in almost every way, while still keeping things in common with the source. A better example is Ringu2 compared to The Ring 2, which had absolutly nothing in common with each other except the use of さだこ or whatever her name was in the english version.Two completely different stories.

How dare anyone, anyone try to do what Gary Oldman did in that film. I think Leon is a great film, one reason being Gary Oldman, and to see them run that....anger!!

Leon was a very good film.

So was Nikita, which came out around the same time. The Assassin was crap though (cough).
