In the action film Colombiana, Zoe Saldana plays Cataleya, a young woman who has grown up to be an assassin after witnessing the murder of her parents as a child. Turning herself into a professional killer and working for her uncle, she remains focused on her ultimate goal: to hunt down and get revenge on the mobster responsible for her parents' deaths. This movie was directed by the worst action director that you will ever see in your life, because the action at parts was all over the place but Zoe Saldana was good in the movie.

Zoe Saldana has some action chops, but the film is simply hampered by a PG-13 rating. For a movie this violent, it feels a bit... weak. Plus the whole revenge thing has been done ad nausea before. Still, for an action fix, it does the trick, just don't expect it to stick with you.

Cataleya (Zoe Saldana) is taught to become an assassin by her uncle. It was unusual how air vents in basements are screwed loosely, how easily it was to jump-off an elevator or 2 toothbrushes can become weapons. Soundtrack was not that enticing and plot and character development seemed rushed. Action scenes were nice but other than that, not much going on that will keep you interested. Even its mysterious conclusion will irritate and baffle you. Columbiana tries to be like Salt, La Femme Nikita and Bourne, but with less filling when it comes to the storytelling.

Cataleya Restrepo witnessed the death of her mother and father. She managed to escape and went to his uncle on Chicago, there she starts learning not to be a "warrior princess" but a killer. She seeks revenge for her parents keeping what her father told her, that she is a Colombiana. *** The film was flawlessly directed in terms of combing the action, drama, and a bit of romantic sides of the whole movie. Zoe Saldana did a good job, though, I expected more to actually portray the strong and sensitive character of Cataleya. The story was definitely good. Good!

The ending was predictable and kinda uneventful. But, the things she did to kill people were cool. And, her personal life was interesting.

Shallow, easily forgettable action flick. However, those in the mood for some mindless fun could do worse.
