Colombiana

COLOMBIANA (2011) - Sept. 1, 2011
About a little girl whose parents are killed in front of her, and who 15 years later has essentially dedicated her life to becoming a lean, mean, revenge machine.  Decently directed by the awesomely-named Olivier Megaton, the movie sort of feels like a Luc Besson action film on autopilot: it's got parkour, it's got shootouts, it's got hand-to-hand action, and it generally has the style we've come to expect from these films, but it all feels kind of perfunctory.  I was always entertained, but I was never particularly involved.  Meh.  **1/2
