Rating: 3/4 --
A spy version of Pygmalion, complete with perverse romance, Nikita was well ahead of the curve when it came to women warriors as modern shoot-'em-up stars [Blu-ray].

Very stylish and wicked, but it's the magnetic title performance that makes it a classic.

Begins with the materials of a violent thriller but transcends them with the story of the heroine's transformation.
