Sex & Nudity

  • A naked woman Is killed (she Is covered by the water) but when she Is shot to death full side nudity Is seen.
  • Implied sex with a prostitute, nothing heard, woman is seen with sheet over body after.

Violence & Gore

  • The violence is pretty graphic.
  • A man pulls someone off of a balcony and you hear him scream as he falls to his death.
  • A man shoots someone. While you do not see the bullet hit, you do see some blood on a nearby wall.
  • A man shoots a woman in a bathtub at close range with a shotgun. The bubbles hide most of the blood.
  • A man shoots a girl with a shotgun (not graphic) but you do see a bloody wound for a second.
  • A small boy is shot dead. This is not shown, however it is discussed heavily throughout the film and you see the killer trying to shoot the boy. This scene is extremely intense.
  • A man is shot twice (he slides down a wall). He tries to crawl away, but the shooter follows him, standing over him, shooting him in the back a few times before killing him. The body is seen later in the film (blood on the floor and blood spray at the impact of each bullet).
  • A man walks into a room and shoots two people with considerable blood spray.
  • A man shoots numerous SWAT team members. We hear gunshots and see three or four dead bodies. We see brief bloody spray.
  • A man is shot, he collapses to the ground and we see a pool of blood.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • A 12 year old girl develops a crush on the main character throughout the film and makes a couple references, but they aren't anything close to explicit.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • 12 year old Mathilda smokes, but quits when Léon tells her to. She is seen later smoking in secret. Mathilda is seen smoking only five times, never seen inhaling or exhaling, and quits for good by the end of the film.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • One of the main characters is shot and dies at the end of the movie. Potentially upsetting.
  • The main antagonist speaks to a 12 year old girl and asks her if she wants to "join him" referring to her younger brother who is dead. The man then rubs a gun on her face while she cries. This scene is creepy and may be disturbing to some.
  • In the extended "Version Longue", Mathilda's training to become an assassin is portrayed in an extended montage of her and Leon murdering targets. There is little actual violence onscreen, but Mathilda is shown as a willing and active participant, shooting one man with a dart for practice. Her life is in danger at the end of the montage where one of the targets fights back and there is an explosion.
