Michael Ledo Zoe's parents are killed by a fellow drug dealer in Columbia. As the assassins confront this 10 year old girl, she makes a daring "Spiderman" escape. She ends up in Chicago where she is raised by her uncle. "I want to be a warrior-princess," she says. She wants to be a killer.We flash forward to her adulthood. Zoe has become a killer and she leaves a calling card by drawing a rare orchid on the victim, a sign of her family. Her goal, to the dismay of her uncle, is to draw out the man who killed her parents...who has the backing of the CIA.Lennie James plays Ross, a sharp FBI investigator, who is in charge of finding the the rare orchid killer.Zoe's ability reminded me a bit of Jolie in "Salt." While Zoe is leggy and sexy, don't get you hopes up, as the camera angel remains pure while she showers and changes. I found the action scenes to be 5 stars. The scenes with Lennie James were also excellent. The filler drama material of Zoe's life outside of the action scenes was not well scripted and I lost interest waiting for something to happen.Eventually the plot and subplot comes together in a most entertaining way as we find out that Zoe knows how to take charge.The biggest disaster of the movie was the closing soundtrack. I mean really. That was the best they could do?Good action, fair drama
Francis Brandon 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 !
Derek Foster Movie that is far-fetched, fantasy and just awful.Bad acting all round worst movie I have ever seen.Do not waste your money on this.A movie basically promoting revenge killing by taking law into your hands.Story-line is so bad, a child must have written it.This movie was so bad, it should be banned.I will pay not to be put through the torture again.No sure if the director was trying to superwoman, spiderwoman or batwoman.The director should be jailed for making such a bad movie..
martin-40-727364 Of Angelina Jolie was in the title role Columbiana would get a 9 rating.A 'Strong Woman' - action - crime - drug cartel - bad cop CIA - good cop FBI, film in which the men play bit-parts. A good role reversal and pleasing to see.Its a good film. The plot may have some less than credible leaps and the ending is a bit 'sloppy' but you don't see that in the pace of action, good cinematography and actor's good performances.Do I really need ten lines?And anotherand another
