Watch Colombiana Megavideo
French writer turned Hollywood friendly action on the subject of the hit factory (its European studios corp has churned the carrier and "Banlieue 13" series and Liam Neeson surprise hit, the roof) returns with his latest writing and producing Colombiana risk.
From the Colombian capital in 1992, a girl named Cataleya witnessed the death of both parents through the local crime lord. After a scene really exciting and action-packed Chase (The Bourne thinks that a small scarpering around, and replaced in Tangier with the streets of Bogotá) escapes his captors interpolation brave and find their way to American shores, where it begins to rebuild his life by connecting with your drive and still feed his uncle (Cliff Curtis), who insists on teaching how to be a professional hitwoman.
The film takes us to today, where Cataleya, now in their thirties (and played by Zoe Saldana to light) is a thin, half machine, killing, it has complied with the plans of his career. Still can not find its target, due to coverage being guarded by a shadowy CIA agent (who would not dare to lose anyway?) What is the support, love and abandonment of a normal life in their quest revenge.
The first 20 minutes or so suggests the Latin flavor, high-octane remake of Colombian Leon may be the card, but unfortunately, the film soon runs out of steam virtually Cataleya Saldana is revealed in adulthood. These data indicate that the fault lies with the actor. He really gives everything and really help sell a ridiculous idea methodical murderess women is a sharp, almost superhuman combat training (and, unlike Angelina Jolie last year in Salt regardless of her slender figure and a small frame, it seems as if it might be possible to kick serious ass). Barebones script was disappointed (which by Besson and co-scribe Robert Mark Kamen, probably spilled a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape or two), that although the treaty because it looks to avenge the death of his parents, really does not examine his psyche within, or the reasons for his desire to work as a profession crazy.
The film also exists in the world of reality, the bending of ours, where the software on the PC owned by the Conference of the Parties involved (British exports Lennie James) can do something and find someone who simple touch of a button, and all the air conditioning vents are magical enough for a man to roam in.
The film also perhaps one of the most men have written in the form of bits of Catalina on the side - an artist named Danny (Michael Vartan), who has managed to keep emotional distance. One of the least inefficient characters ever to grace the silver screen (or perhaps have a role sly dig Besson investment of tropes, which are usually attached to the male gender?)
None of these referrals are likely to generate the desired basic demographic data (horny male adolescents), and when the director goes by the nickname of Oliver Megaton, it was unlikely to be a nuanced portrait of an emotional situation by a woman loses both parents in a very early age. Nevertheless, the film suffers greatly from a serious role leading and without guaranteed interest (despite the efforts Saldana), and even potentially worth the Euro-flavored aesthetic, mixed with Michael Bay and Tony Scott Big Bangs school can not awakening to life, and (even more embarrassing for a film of this nature) grows increasingly tedious and lifeless as the intensification of the action.
If you are looking for a strong female character to hold your attention in this kind of film, do yourself a favor and rent Besson Nikita own (especially Leon, for that matter). Colombiana contrast, takes the two films-like character and really make you care about her plight and travel,Watch Colombiana Megavideo.
