Jordan_StevensJuly 14, 2025After watching Gloria, I realize Luc Besson’s Léon isn’t as groundbreaking as it seems—or rather, it’s great because he’s standing on John Cassavetes’s shoulders.

Wade_StarkJuly 14, 2025Told in a gritty, realistic style, this story packs major drama and it holds up incredibly well, even more so than Léon. By the way, you can bet Quentin Tarantino drew plenty of inspiration from John Cassavetes here.

CinemaginandoJuly 14, 2025Contada em um estilo realista e cru, esta história carrega um drama intenso e se mantém incrivelmente bem, ainda mais do que O Profissional. Aliás, pode apostar que Quentin Tarantino se inspirou bastante em John Cassavetes aqui.

Cathy_GuerraJuly 14, 2025Depois de assistir a Glória, percebo que O Profissional de Luc Besson não é tão inovador quanto parece — ou melhor, é ótimo porque ele se inspira em John Cassavetes.

Blake_MeyerJuly 14, 2025Contada con un estilo descarnado y realista, esta historia tiene mucho drama y se sostiene increíblemente bien, mucho más que Léon. Por cierto, podría apostar que Quentin Tarantino se inspiró muchísimo en esta película de John Cassavetes.

Candice_WolfJuly 14, 2025Después de ver Gloria, me di cuenta de que Léon de Luc Besson no es tan innovadora como parece, o mejor dicho, es genial porque se para sobre los hombros de John Cassavetes.
