MATHILDA

MATHILDA-Based on the cult film favorite The Professional, starring Natalie Portman and Jean Reno, this Fan Film, by Director Ron Santiano and Red Cape Cinema, takes place twelve years after the original film when young Mathilda was left orphanned after the murder of her parents and her beloved Leon. Mathilda is all grown up now and taken on the profession of Her departed friend, becomming a Hitman (or Hitwoman) for hire. Mathilda still thinks of Leon often, Her emotions made clear through the use of cleverly interwoven clips of the original film into Her flashback sequences. Mathilda almost transforms herself into Leon by picking up some of his old habits, even dressing like Him when She goes on Hits. This next job will be unlike any other, because this time it's not for the money, but for revenge. Check out this film for yourself for the shocking conclusion. Director Ron Santiano and Crew did a fine job of capturing the emotion of the original film through the use of flashbacks and a strong performance by Ia Villatuya as Mathilda. While She doesn't exactly look like Natalie Portman, Villatuya does capture the heart and passion of the character. This film is (in My humble opinion) a clever sequel to The Professional, and should please fans of the original film. Smart and enjoyable, this one does the job. Nice work!
