Luc Besson The Fifth Element made his American directorial debut with this stylized thriller about a French hit man Jean Reno who takes in an American girl Natalie Portman being pursued by a corrupt killer cop Gary Oldman. Oldman is a little more unhinged than he should be, but there is something genuinely irresistible about the story line and the relationship between Reno and Portman. Rather than cave in to the cookie-cutter look and feel of American action pictures, Besson brings a bit of his glossy style from French hits La Femme Nikita and Subway to the production, and the results are refreshing even if the bullets and explosions are awfully familiar. --Tom Keogh
