Something about this film that doesn't make sense
During the scenes where Nikita is being dragged out of court,after kicking the police guards etc, she's taken to a room where she's injected with some kind of sedative. But during the process she shouting 'I don't wanna go like this' 'you should tell my mother' in which one of the guys replies 'she's been told' this implies something else more sinister.
Later she wakes up in a white cell and enquirers 'is this heaven? Now considering that France doesn't have the death penalty I found this quite baffling.
In the American remake the judge did sentence Jane Fonda's character to death by lethal injection, so when she's acting out in fear, it not only made sense, but it also made the twist in the events (the lethal drug being switched for a sedative, to being recruited as an assassin) that much more effective.
Wouldn't it have been better to just imply that she has been sedated her, then she wakes up in her cell?
