	Author	Review
United States	Alessandra Stanley The New York Times	"The latest incarnation, 'Nikita' (...) is a surprisingly sophisticated and satisfying adaptation"	POS

United States	Mary McNamara Los Angeles Times	"It's difficult to make cold-blooded and calculating people interesting and empathetic, and yet it must be done. Because fight scenes will take you only so far. Especially when there are no big dance numbers"	NEU
