The Professional

1994 Luc Besson drama starring Jean Reno, Natalie Portman, Gary Oldman.

Young girl seeks revenge against a crooked cop who killed her parents and takes up with a hit man who trains her to be a "fixer".

Great cast: Portman's first film, Reno is always fantastic, and Gary Oldman, a chameleon, has a field day.

Interesting character study and unusual relationship between Reno and Portman make this different, unusual, and worth seeing.

The Professionals

These guys are good.

Action packed western about a group of professional soldiers of fortune who are hired to go across the border to rescue a kidnapped wife from evil bandito.

1966 film directed by Richard Brooks stars Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, Woody Strode, Jack Palance, Robert Ryan, and Claudia Cardinale.

Plot has interesting twist but the real draw here is the nature of the relationship between the tough mercenaries and how good they are at wreaking havoc.
