Let's begin...


Point of No Return
IMDb; Movie Tome; Rotten Tomatoes

Not a bad movie, but not something I feel the need to see again. It's based on a French film, "Nikita," which I suppose I should see someday. Anyway, it's not exactly a spy movie, but that's the closest category I felt it came to. More of an assassin movie, really. This girl named Maggie (who we like) is a drug addict and stuff, and she kills a guy, and is sentenced to death. Everyone believes she was killed, but actually the government staged her execution and funeral, and then trained her to become an assassin. She was given the new name Claudia, and started a new life, and met a guy. But whenever her handler, Bob, contacted her, and called her by the codename Nina, she'd have to drop everything and take on an assignment. She didn't like this. But she could be killed by the government at any time if she disobeyed. I can't really think of anything else to say. Don't want to give away the ending, or anything.
