Sometimes I am a bit embarrassed about the movies I like, or at least tolerate. The Professional is a cross between an adequate hit-man story, a coming-of-age drama, and adult enlightenment. Unfortunately it is only adequate in all of these categories. The performances were a bit over played. Gary Oldman a bit too quirky of a bad guy (you could tell he was trying to be quirky), Natalie Portman a bit to enthusiastic as a protege, and Jean Reno a bit too quick to transform from hard edged hitman to playing charades with his new kid (just because she brought him milk).
Hopefully, this ends a string of average, heavy, drama's. Isn't there anything fun out there right now?
