Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was based on a script that was set to be a sequel for Léon: The Professional (1994). The story was set to follow Natalie Portman's character Mathilda as she tracked down and killed characters that had wronged her and Leon. Due to rights issues with the studio behind the first film, it was canceled and the script was turned into this film.
- GoofsWhen Cataleya enters the US through Miami as a child, she escapes from her federal guardian out a bathroom window in the airport. There isn't an international airport in the US with bathrooms that have windows connecting to the outside.
- Quotes
Don Luis Sandoval: You have ruined your whole life trying to kill me? Someone like me? I cannot be killed. I do the killing. And now it's your turn to be hunted. You will never find me. But as day follows night, believe me, I'll find you, and I will kill you! And you know why? Because I will never be where you want me to be!
Cataleya: Actually, you're exactly where I want you to be.
Don Luis Sandoval: Huh?
[dogs start barking]
Don Luis Sandoval: Aah!
Cataleya: Eat...
- Alternate versionsThree versions of this film exist:

Featured review
Trust Me! its not THAT bad
I can understand why Colombiana is getting some tough reviews. It doesn't feature Colombian actors, it wasn't really filmed in Columbia, and this type of movie has been done so many times before. Kill Bill(2003-2004), Enough(2002), The Brave One(2007), I Spit on Your Grave(1978), Coffy(1973. The list goes on and on. Women seeking revenge for something.
However, I will say Colombiana was FAR better than I thought. I was expecting a predictable, loud, cat and mouse action movie with a lot of explosions and guns. It does have a lot of explosions and guns, but it was not as predictable as I thought and the acting wasn't outstanding but definitely good enough. Zoe Saldana carries the movie with ease and adds a lot to a script with average character development and plot.
Colombiana is a good action flick with a great leading actress and decent supporting characters. It's not something I would have on my top 10 list at the end of the year but think about it, I took 6-7 minutes to do a review on it which I only do if the movie was memorable and it was.
Colombiana: acting:B, plot:B-, dialogue:C+
