Colombian warrior princess

Colombiana (2011)

Directed by Olivier Megaton this film stars Zoe Saldana and has Luc Besson serving as co-writer/producer. A young girl escapes Colombia after her parents are murdered by a drug lord and vows to become a killer and get revenge.

The plot of this film is pretty average but manages not to stray into over the top silliness and handles the characters back story without getting melodramatic. Zoe Saldana gives a really good performance as the grown up super killer with some amazing moves. Any film like this relies on it's action sequences and while the early ones in the film are good the later fight scenes tend towards disappointing flash cutting.

3/5
