Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the opening store robbery and subsequent firefight with the police, one of the officers is using a rifle to pick off the criminals. Each time he fires, the accompanying sound effect is that of a firearm that is equipped with a sound suppressor, when it's apparent none is attached to the end of the rifle's barrel. moreQuotes:
Bob: [picks up Maggie's album of Nina Simone] Can I take this?J.P.: Yeah... sure.
J.P.: [pause] You like Nina?
Bob: [after a while] Yeah. I love her.
J.P.: [pause] We'll miss her?
Bob: [gazes at the picture of Maggie on the wall] Yeah. We'll miss her.

The English version of the French movie La Femme Nikita. I think it is quite well done, and I enjoyed it.
A druggie girl kills a cop and is sentenced to death. She is given the "opportunity" to live, if she does what they say, and becomes an assassin. To the rest of the world she died.
She is determined, and she doesn't play well with others, but if she doesn't start playing their game, she really will be in her grave.. I'm not giving away any more.
But I would recommend it, it's worth seeing. Especially if you like Bridget Fonda, who kicks arse in this movie.
