    Don't know the name of this movie
    Im trying 2 find the title of a movie I saw like in 1998 or 1999
    About a spy or hitman who ends up meeting a little girl who's family has problems I'm not sure but I think her name is (dakota fanning) but most likely not, the girl is like 9 yrs old, smokes, and ends up being his friend
    The girls family later in the movie gets murdered
    Then the spy or assassin gets killed by a bunch of cops but takes them out by killing himself with like 5 grenades

    If any 1 knows pleaseeee!! Let me know

    Hi there

    I think the movie you refer to is LEON.

    Synopsis :
    Mathilda, a twelve-year old New York girl, is living an undesirable life among her half-family. Her father stores drugs for two-faced cop Norman Stansfield. Only her little brother keeps Mathilda from breaking apart. One day, Stansfield and his team take cruel revenge on her father for stretching the drugs a little, thus killing the whole family. Only Mathilda, who was out shopping, survives by finding shelter in Léon's apartment in the moment of highest need. Soon, she finds out about the strange neighbour's unusual profession - killing - and desperately seeks his help in taking revenge for her little brother. Léon, who is completely unexperienced in fatherly tasks, and in friendships, does his best to keep Mathilda out of trouble - unsuccessfully. Now, the conflict between a killer, who slowly discovers his abilities to live, to feel, to love and a corrupt police officer, who does anything in his might to get rid of an eye witness, arises to unmeasurable proportions - all for the sake of a little twelve-year old girl, who has nearly nothing to lose.

    I thought it was the Professional, with Natalie Portman playing the girl. Its what spiraled her career. The movie your describing sounds just like the Professional, anyway.
