A corrupt DEA boss (Oldman) and his thugs murder a family in a drug deal gone awry. Orphaned by the massacre, 12-year-old Mathilda (Portman) is forced to take shelter in the apartment of a neighbor (Reno) she barely knows. He's a loner and a first-generation immigrant, who also happens to be a professional hitman. She desperately wants to avenge the death of, if no one else, her little brother, and demands that he teach her how to become a "cleaner" like him. Thierry Arbogast's cinematography is magnificent.
