Leave your thoughts about Colombiana.
| BET.comClay CaneAfter opening weekend, 'Colombiana' will more than likely be buried in the shallow grave of other femme fatale action duds like 'Aeon Flux,' 'Catwoman' and 'Elektra.' |
| AV ClubScott TobiasIt uses a story about family as a vehicle for glorifying gangsterism. In other words, it's empty, amoral, and - in the style of other Besson productions - surprisingly easy to digest. |
| Mania.comRob VauxThe star's dangerously low weight is only the start of its problems. |
| Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta)Brian GibsonGets off some fire-flashes of interest but nothing more sustained. The romance subplot is rote and there are some ludicrous moments. Ultimately, it seems hollow-point. |
| DeadspinWill LeitchYou keep wanting "Colombiana" to go all the way in one direction, or all the way in the other. Instead, it just sits there, content to give Saldana a lollypop. |
| Total FilmMatt MuellerWe could be talking up Zoe Saldana as the next Angelina Jolie. But she's going to need a stronger vehicle than this to end Angie's reign. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyThe film is undercooked as a script, but Zoe Saldana commits to it with such ferocity that she makes it feel like everything matters, even when the script doesn't lay out a case for what that is. |
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirA movie so addicted to the crack pipe of delirious cinematic badness that it has real potential as a camp classic. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyAll of that combines to make Colombiana into a scandalous blend of action, sex and violence. My apologies in advance for having so much fun. |
| MovielineMichelle OrangeIn catsuits, swimsuits, and skimpy underthings, Saldana is as potently elusive as a shadow can be. |
