Its a while since I watched the film and the DVD is sitting in my drawer so I think I'll pull it out again.
There is also a copy of LEON (also called The Professional) in there, another great film that kinda stays with you. Again by the great director Luc Besson and with Jean Reno and with Gary Oldman playing a very good part.
Unmissable really.
The same as the American version of the Girl with the Dragon tattoo much better ending
But both did not match to the originals.

What annoyed me about this series was the intro(convicted for a crime she did not do) were in the French version she put gun to the policeman throat and pulled the trigger and was sent to a government training assassin squad but that made no sense in the TV version intro
BUT On the last series it was revealed that the section she was recruited to get her out of prison was under the control of Control(Played by Edward Woodward)her father who she had never met.
Get the boxset for the TV series its brill well worth watching
