A nice observation from Monica Meijer in Cinemagazine : "Cataleya is a better Catwoman than Catwoman" (although that character on film with the renditions of Julie Newmar, Michelle Pfeiffer and Anne Hathaway is certainly not badly provided). But besides Catwoman, Jason Bourne is also a good reference, an association that is reinforced by the fact that Cataleya's fight with Marco has the same twisted montage as Bourne's fight with Desh in The Bourne ultimatum. And so Colombiana tastes a lot better to me when I revise it than the first time, as I now pay less attention to the plot and more to the speed, the fireworks and especially the superb rendition of Zoe Saldana. Add a star.

Bland story full of improbabilities: As a young girl, Cataleya already knows how to jump from rooftops chased by heavily armed men and escape, her uncle just shoots at a passing car in the middle of the street and waits for some police cars to arrive at the scene, after which he just walks home...

I find the use of a yellow (and later in the film also a blue) color filter disturbing than beautiful, because it stands out too much. Some actors seem to suffer from jaundice.

The action is otherwise not too bad, although the fight towards the end of the film between Zoe and the gangster boss' assistant is edited very quickly, you can hardly see what is happening. Too bad that so many action scenes in many movies are completely ruined in this way.

Zoe Saldana is of course a beautiful appearance (and sometimes shows her nipples admired through her tight suits). And I also like the song "Hurt" by Johnny Cash (although not really fitting for this movie) . This really is a superficial action movie for when you don't feel like a movie with depth or any logic.
