Produced, arranged, and composed by Eric Serra, the soundtrack to director Luc Besson's smash movie La Femme Nikita was the third collaboration between the pair, following Subway and The Big Blue. Many of the soundtrack's nearly two dozen cuts are brief (less than a minute and a half) and, therefore, offer little outside of the context of the film (although the simple, piano-based "The Last Time I Kiss You" is an exception). Like the film, the music from it is highly stylized, but it lacks the film's heart and is, instead, a mostly cold, bloodless collection of synthesizer noodlings and generic guitar riffs (with the odd saxophone). Some of the better moments include the introductory "Rico's Gang Suicide," the hypnotic swagger of "NPOKMOP," the metallic surf guitar of "Let's Welcome Victor," and the genuinely moving "We Will Miss You." There's not much here of interest to anyone other than die-hard fans of the film.

Tom Demalon, All Music Guide

For me, this movie and its soundtrack constitute the highlight of the partnership between director Luc Besson and composer Eric Serra – a collaboration that covers 'Subway', 'The Fifth Element' and 'Big Blue', amongst others. 'Nikita' seemed so perfect to me that I couldn't understand why Hollywood chose to do a re-make so quickly.

The sleevenotes on my CD give little away, besides saying that the music is performed by the mysterious RXRA, presumably a Parisian studio band. The whole soundtrack has a metallic, late 80s feel to it. There are Lyle Mays-like synthesizer flutters here and there, but it otherwise seems wonderfully disconnected from the rest of the world, in the way that so much French music is.

Inevitably the best tracks are based on the Nikita love theme: 'Fancy Face' (track #9) and 'The Free Side' (track #13). The worst track is clearly the last one – it was a serious misjudgement by Serra to put himself forward as the singer!

I have no idea how the soundtrack stands up on its own for someone who hasn't seen the movie. All I can say is go and see it – you won't be disappointed, and you can practice your French at the same time!
