Description: A young girl in Bogotá witnesses her parent’s murder
and grows up to be a stone-cold assassin (Zoe Saldana).
Review: South
America. With helicopter shots, we are led into the world of “Colombiana”. The
camera skims over the ramshackle hovels of the slums and soon leads us to
nine-year-old Cataleya. Her father has gotten himself into some shady business
and has to leave the scene along with his wife. Cataleya sees her parents being
murdered. As she grows up, she becomes a stone-cold assassin, looking for
vengeance.
“Colombiana” is the not the most original film and it
is filled with clichés. Thanks to Zoe Saldana, as Cataleya, it’s still an enjoyable
movie and fun to watch. It has some cool action, fight and chase scenes. But
don’t expect anything special or groundbreaking.
