I still think this is a great movie tho oldman ruins it with his over the top acting and fake acccent , I think Christopher walken woulda been a much better choice

I think Oldman was great in this role, as with pretty much any role I've seen him in. He really seems to sink into his characters because I don't think I've ever seen two performances of his that felt the same unlike some other still very great actors…Dicaprio comes to mind as an example of someone who's performances often DO feel the same. In this film I think Oldman's character was written to be exactly that over the top, as a foil to Leon who is so calm, quiet, and collected.

Maybe Nicolas Cage a better choice.
