Based on the Luc Besson film Nikita, Bridget Fonda stars in the action thriller Point of No Return. After killing a cop during a robbery Maggie Hayward is recruited by a black ops government program that fakes her death and trains her to be an assassin, but when she’s put into the field she have trouble living a double life. Fonda gives a pretty good performance, as do her co-stars Gabriel Byrne, Dermot Mulroney, and Harvey Keitel. But the script is pretty weak; never really explaining why Maggie was recruited or what turned her from a rebel to a loyal agent. And the love story comes off as forced and contrived. Still, the fight scenes are exciting and there are some suspenseful moments during the missions. Yet ultimately Point of No Return proves to be a rather rote and generic ‘90s action film.

Bridget Fonda is tough to kill.
