Point of No Return / Assassin
1993
**½
Director: John Badham
Cast: Bridget Fonda, Dermot Mulroney, Gabriel Byrne, Anne Bancroft
A down-and-out junkie faces death penalty, but she gets a second chance as a government assassin code named Nina. This faithful Hollywood remake of Nikita is pretty decent, but the transformation of the protagonist is not as credible as in the original.
