i think that there's a lot of reviews over here that says good things about this movie, but i also think that there's one important thing: it's like Robert Rodriguez made a female version of Machete. and it's fu..ng good!! it's a gore movie with surprises, lots of action. Don't let you fool yourself about the people who say that it's like Leon, it's very far from this. but remember, it's very fun.

I was not wrong and I spent a quiet entertaining evening. Well, in the movie you see coming some plots by far but there are a few clues that are well executed. I mean sometimes I expected some faster pace but then I know already what came next. But this point said should not stop you to see it. The action scenes came professionally here. The picture is well adapted for the very attractive and original chosen filming locations. Zoe Soldana delivered a respectable performance. In this form she could even replace Sylvester Stallone in Rambo and I have no doubts to imagine her in this role. If you want see other good vengeance thrillers don't miss Salt or all Rambo series. For all these reasons it merits a solid 6 / 10.

The silly writing makes sure that I can't take this movie seriously, like the filmmakers intend. This is not something like Piranha 3DD (which I just saw) where the filmmakers clearly know that they are making a dumb movie and they embrace it. (Piranha 3DD was still bad) But Colombiana tries to be a legitimate action film and fails miserably.Director Olivier Megaton is not a good director. He handles the basics reasonably well, but when **** hits the fan and audience expects a good action sequence, you will not get one. One of the scenes in the climax is a prime example of this. Terrible angles and incredibly short shots make it hard to see what's going on. And it really shatters the illusion that there is a life and death situation going on with our main character.The acting was a hit and miss, Lenny James being the hit and everyone else being the miss. The bad directing, plot holes and plot conveniences made sure that this movie was a bad experience.
