Like the movies its modeled after, it's shallow, frequently silly. But there's something about the mix--maybe something about Parillaud as the screechy, dangerous Nikita--that may make the movie a powerful engine of wish-fulfillment. [12 Apr 1991, Calendar, p.F-10]

The film, like Nikita herself, becomes more conventionally sleek and less interestingly bizarre as it moves along. Read full review

Disappointing. [6 Mar 1991, Life, p.9D]

Parillaud is expressive but rather mundane. She's best at playing sullen, but there are so many French actresses who specialize in this particular talent -- the French have mastered the apathetic pout -- that she seems generic. Read full review
