IMDB

A young girl’s parents are killed.  She flees from the assassins and finds her way to America.  She lives with her uncle and tells him she wants to be a killer.  He says okay and we skip ahead 15 years.  Now she is targeting the people who killed her parents.
The lead actress of the movie (Zoe Saldana) is likable and very attractive.  The action was okay, but mild due to the PG-13 rating.  I do not understand making all of these PG-13 action movies that are all watered down.  I want to see some blood splatter.  Maybe I’m a sick fuck.
Columbiana never gets boring.  It never gets very exciting either.  It is sort of just there.  The plot of getting revenge for the death of a parent/parents is a fine action trope.  I don’t mind that.  I don’t mind the female assassin trope.  I do mind that these movies are being made for teens.  Just because there’s no blood, doesn’t mean it isn’t violent.  It just makes the movie stupider.
Better than Hanna by a little.  The climax wasn’t as bad, but still wasn’t very good either.


5.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
