Luc Besson’s English-language breakthrough movie, how does Leon fare in high definition?

Gary Oldmans Stansfield is a bit of a marmite character.

I personally love his performance as the deranged, out of control antagonist.

4 stars

His filmography, to date, has been mostly a downward spiral postLeon.

Its not without its awkward moments.

I find certain aspects ofLeona little uncomfortable in places.

4 stars

The Disc

The transfer to Blu-ray struck me as a little odd.

The film looks great in places, especially during Natalie Portmans opening scene.

Extras are a little thin on the ground.

4 stars

Therere no audio commentaries on offer, and that really is it for the extras.

Its hard to recommendLeonon Blu-ray.

If you own it on DVD, I would say keep your money in your pocket.

4 stars

If you dont own it, then go for it.
