Colombiana (2011) 6/10

Starring : Zoe Saldana, Jordi Molla, Lennie James, Amanda Stenberg, Michael Vartan, Cliff Curtis
Director : Olivier Megaton
Running Time : 104 mins

Following the murder of her parents as a child in Bogota, young Cataleya (Saldana) grows up wanting to nothing except exact vengeance upon their killer. After years of training by her uncle Emilio (Curtis), she soon become a highly skilled assassin and, after lots of practice, heads out in search of the mobster responsible for her parents death.

This is a pretty standard revenge movie, with the slightly dated twist being that the person seeking revenge is a woman. The storyline feels like it is simple enough to follow, but when you look at it closely there are a lot of things that don’t make sense, such as Cataleya’s belief that the FBI would know the location of the man who killed her family. This movie is okay on the surface as a pointless action flick, but if you think of it too deeply you may become disappointed.
