I saw the movie "Colombiana"


I saw the movie "Colombiana" this afternoon. The main character/protagonist Cataleya is played by Zoe Saldana. She is an assassin whose ultimate goal is to kill the the Colombian drug lord who had her mother and father murdered in front of her when she was a child.

The movie started off great with Cataleya as a little girl being chased through the slums of Bogota, Colombia. Great location shots in Chicago too. However, the movie lost steam the further into the story it got. The end was pretty predictable with a big showdown at the end. However, Cataleya puts a cold twist on the revenge served to Don Luis at the end and that sort of redeemed the film for me.
