Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
Point of No Return is actually a fairly effective and faithful adaptation [of La Femme Nikita], and Bridget Fonda manages the wild identity-swings of her role with intensity and conviction.

Rating: 3/5 --
An okay remake of the better LA FEMME NIKITA. Captures the spirit, but not the intensity.

It's by no means awful, but I won't re-watch it any time soon, unless I intend to gawk at Bridget Fonda.

Cinema Crazed
More than anything, Fonda gives this glossy, reasonably entertaining rerun an American raison d'etre.

Totally unnecessary, sterile remake of LA FEMME NIKITA.

...[Keitel] is truly chilling...

Product Description:
In a grim future America, Maggie (Bridget Fonda), a beautiful young street punk, is about to be executed for killing a cop during a robbery, and is given the choice between death or becoming a government assassin. She accepts the latter and is trained in all manner of martial (and feminine) arts. She ably carries out her deadly assignments, and is groomed to become a powerful killer. Maggie is given a new identity, becomes the seductive Claudia, and is sent to Venice, California, where she begins her new life. But the training takes only too well: the formerly amoral murderess proceeds to fall in love with a photographer (Dermot Mulroney) and develop a conscience. Now she wants out, but the government isn't about to let her go without a fight. Director John Badham's remake of French director Luc Besson's LA FEMME NIKITA is a stylish and thrilling adaptation, featuring a solid performance from Bridget Fonda.
