i'm happy that hollywood is SLOWLY *though not quickly enough* that you can put a non-white actress in a lead movie, be it action, drama, etc. and get that FOLK.WILL.PAY.MONEY.TO.WATCH.

its okay...you can start opening up the "who could be bankable" list, hollywood...we'll wait.


the movie itself...wasn't decent at all.

I'm not asking for much, but some character development would have been nice for *ALL* the main players

i have to agree with critics who say that Zoe should have been served BETTER with a more fleshed out, well written script. And, it doesn't to be an artsy revenge type hitman movie like HANNA (2011) or the like.

but, the character was VERY thin as hell...

and i have NO problems with her character dating a white dude, but, CAN YOU GET SOMEONE WHO LOOKS BETTER THAN MICHAEL VARTAN?!

I mean, Channing Tatum wasn't free? Brandon Routh?

hell, Michael Ealy/Nicholas Gonalez, etc. weren't around?

OK.

the fight scenes I love that she did ALL or MOST OF her stunts, but i'm with CyrenYoung...the jump cutting was too much. And yea, a movie like this, you *NEED* to be studying some kind of martial art or fighting style well IN advance...like really.

i know matt damon was talked about, but he *DID* prep for the bourne movies for nearly a year BEFORE they shot and

i'm not saying Zoe couldn't bring the heat, but during her fight scenes--specifically the final one, you could tell it was choreographed.

No shade, but Krav Maga is *NOT* choreographed. AT ALL...it's UGLY as fuck and folk get hurt/can easily DIE from any of the move combinations.

But here? choreographed.

BUT, I do give them props for USING IT and not trying to mix it in with other styles...

*Now, if someone can find a way to incorporate Russian Martial Arts/Systema into a movie...for real*

Zoe was deserving of a quality action film where she COULD show that she could carry a movie *AND* fight *AND* inhabit a character with some emotional gravitas and weight.

COLOMBIANA WAS NOT IT.

I would have to give this a B-/C+ overall; a B for Zoe's acting because she was the *ONLY* thing that kept me invested in watching the movie from start to finish.
