Don't listen to the negative reviews

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Blistering performances.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Having remembered when this film was marketed in theaters, as another Bourne type spy film or a version of other female assassin films as Salt, it did not spark much interest. For these type of action thriller revenge type films, perhaps people expected a bit much. The trailers showed exactly the type of film it was and it played it as it should. An entertaining, with thrills and suspense revenge assassin movie type not so much dialogue but tons of mindless actions. This film is quite underrated as it was a box office flop and showed that perhaps audiences did not like Zoe Saldana as much as studios had thought. A better film than critics give credit for. Zoe Saldana delivers a very solid performances and some of the action scenes are quite clever and intriguing. Some things which could have been done without or better, are a poor and forced relationship subplot involving Saldana and a random guy she meets while in Chicago. Even though Colombiana may be a predictable female heroine revenge film (as in we know she will find the killers and get back at them), it still delivers in what it was meant to, and as that is being exciting and thrilling.

(35%) Luc Besson really needs to call time on movies about a cool headed trained killers, as the concept is well and truly looking old. To be fair though this isn't a bad movie. Zoe Saldana works better than most as the lead, but she's really got no big names to help back her up, and as the main bad guy is as bland as they come there's no real draw which is something as mediocre as this really could have done with. There's a fair amount of reasonable action, and of course with this being a Besson movie there's the obligatory rocket launcher sequence, and it's all handed acceptably well. The parts between the action though just aren't strong enough as the writing is too crude and the plot is way too predicable.

This is just my opinion.Europacorp is a very interesting production society because it associates Hollywood to French cinema, we can have a French director who directs Hollywood stars like Olivier Megaton did for Colombiana with Zoe Saldana or for Taken 2 with Liam Neeson. It brings an other way to direct movies which works at the international Box Office. Thanks Luc Besson. But this society do not product always good movies. In fact they often product the same kind of films : simple action movies.So what about Colombiana?This is so cool ! This is really entertaining. Of course the script is very simple but it works. It is exactly in line of all the Europacorp productions but this one is pretty cool !Zoe Saldana is really good for this role. She is beautiful and she kicks ass. The movie is well directed, except for one fight where the plans are linked too fast and we cannot really see what is happening.Colombiana is a really dynamic film, the actions sequences are not boring (yes, it is paradoxical but it happens sometimes, I love you but I am thinking about you Michael Bay).If you want to enjoy a good action movie, you can watch without doubt this one !
