Colombiana is a revenge story revolves around a case that occurred more than a dozen years ago. A child was witnessing her parents, who were slaughtered brutally by a cold-blooded killer when she was child in Bogota. She survived and became a female assassin to avenge the death of her parents.
Given the acrobatic fight skills Zoe Saldana displayed in Avatar, and since producer Luc Besson's stock-in-trade is the female assassin film, 'Colombiana' was a match made in She-Terminator heaven.
Megaton blows things up, demolishes a fruit market, and throws in some parkour foot-chases as if he's completing a checklist.

Deadspin
You 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.
There's bad acting all around, but you can't fully blame the performers. The dialogue needed a writer to come in and punch it up - the lines sound like placeholders.
