I'm glad some of the other reviewers on this site have acknowledged that Columbiana is a French film. Having the dialogue in English, pandering to the English speaking market does not detract from the freshness of what is on the screen. Rather than a Hollywood paint-by-numbers exercise in boredom, we are given a wonderfully empathetic lead character played by Zoe Saldana with complete believability. Olivier Megaton directs the Luc Besson script with an eye to original twists to clichéd action sequences. I went in expecting less than what I got, and came out wanting to buy the DVD when it is released, hoping for a sequel. Far better than most American made summer fare. Congrats to all.
