"Little Nikita" is a highly addictive film and it makes for compelling viewing from beginning to end. Richard Benjamin appears to have forsaken his own acting career in favour of pursuing directing instead and he has certainly selected a very wise choice of material this time around. Benjamin's career as an actor has often reflected that of someone like Clint Eastwood in a lot of ways. They only specialised in playing a particular type of character for the most part and this undoubtedly restricted their choices principally because they may not have coincided with audience expectations concerning what they might have wanted to see them appearing in, but they have now successfully managed to extend their range into other genres as a director and apparently with great acclaim. Hopefully this is a trend which will continue well into the future.

You've reached the end.
