Trivia
Bridget Fonda was cast after Jodie Foster and Winona Ryder turned down the lead role.

Goofs
Bob's recollection of the location of Maggie's plot in the cemetery is inconsistent. He first said "Plot 48, row 12" and later: "Row 48, plot 12"

Quotes
Maggie: I never did mind about the little things.

Alternate versions
Because the original version was rated "Not under 18" in Germany, the film had to be cut to receive a "Not under 16" rating for video release and television broadcast. All scenes in which Victor kills somebody with his pistol were cut out. Also some fighting scenes with Maggie were shortened.

Better than expected; shame on the naysayers

I thought this flick was good, and I'm SO glad that the film didn't resort to the typical Hollywood ending that other American remakes do (though it differed just a bit from the original "Nikita").

Admittedly, I'm biased in that I'm getting to be a big Bridget Fonda fan. And I agree with another reviewer that Fonda played a more likable character than the one in the French original.

Plus, the DVD's sound is great, though the picture is grainy.

All in all, a good film that doesn't deserve all the mudslinging it has gotten.
