Review – Point of No Return

La Femme Nikita does a little bit of business stateside, and in comes John Badham to re-make it. This one gets the full Hollywood treatment, with B+ stars, big explosions, the whole nine yards. If nothing else, Bridget Fonda strikes me as easier on the eyes than the star of the original. However, American slick and pricey don’t really make for a better movie. The French version had production values good enough that the remake wasn’t overwhelmingly different, and the original was edgy in a way the remake wasn’t. So my advice would be to see them in reverse order so you can save the better for later. Mildly amusing
