People are rating "Leon the Professional" 1994. The synopsis is describing an entirely different film involving a piano tuning individual on PBS. The actual film to rent is neither of these two but rather a story of a hit man revenge thriller filmed in the early '70's long before Natalie Portman was born.

Beautiful action comedy from Jean Paul, who exhudes charm and sex appeal. It has my favorite soundtrack by Ennio Moricone, I think his best creation, ahead of his western soundtracks for Clint Eastwood movies.

What's not to love. Jean Reno, young Natalie Portman, and Gary Oldman as the bad guy equals the perfect recipe. Great plot, awesome characters and pure morally ambiguous bad assness.
