What a feeling of revenge can do to a small child and how it can turn her into a heartless killer is the track on which Colombiana moves.
The movie shows the story of a woman, who grows to become a proficient killer in order to take vengeance against the brutal criminal who had killed her parents. As the camera starts rolling, the audience learns about a young girl, Cataleya, who saw her parents being murdered in cold blood. Today, she is all grown up, and is bent upon settling all scores of the past, with the assassin. In this direction, she starts working for her uncle. She systematically begins working in the direction of penetrating through the scandalous underworld. Her anger over the unidentified assassin makes her take out every criminal in her path, in a fanatical quest to put the man who ruined her life, six feet under. While initially Cataleya used to live in Bogota, she starts traveling around to kill people and locate the murderer of her parents. In fact, she starts getting such kind of training, right from her childhood. The movie highlights the feeling of revenge in the most appropriate manner. Indeed, hatred has such a power that it can turn anyone into a criminal and change their life forever.
Moreover, it’s the parents of a girl that suffered because of no reason that made their child such a cold-blooded assassin. The point that makes this movie so interesting is the drive of a young woman to kill the murderer of her parents at any cost.
