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.
- GoofsEarly on, 10-year-old Cataleya is running from the thugs who just killed her parents. She escapes by quickly jumping into a curbside storm drain opening which the thugs are too big to enter. Moments later, Cataleya is climbing out of a partially opened manhole cover in the middle of a busy street. Manhole covers are made of cast iron and weigh 249 pounds; she never would have been able to move it.
- 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...

Featured review
Everybody's a film critic.
Nothing fantastic, but a decent action movie. Giving it 1 star is absolutely ridiculous. Very few movies deserve 1 (same goes for 10), yet here on IMDB it's wildly overused. If you can't see the difference in quality between an Ed Wood movie and Colombiana (production, story, acting etc.), you really shouldn't rate movies. Most likely you just enjoy shitting on things, which seems quite popular these days. A mediocre movie deserves 4-6 stars, not bloody 1, and if you watch enough movies you should at least learn to see the difference between shitty and mediocre. Colombiana is not great, but kept my interest up and it's clearly better than a shitload of other action movies. I rate it somewhere between 6 and 7, but round up because of all the idiotic 1's.
