Rating: 8 out of 10, a lot of great action in this movie with a lead in Saldana that is more than capable of carrying the entire movie. Saldana is a very interesting actress, from the outside she looks like a skinny waif but when the camera role she totally sells the ability to be a bad ass. She's done it in several movies now and she is awesome in this. The story is completely implausible, a la Luc Besson, but as usual with his movies, it works. Here more so than his Jovovich efforts because he has in Saladana, an honest to god actor. The rest of the cast does a great job of supporting Saldana, especially Cliff Curtis as the assassin mentor. One of my favorite actors from Snatch, Lennie James, plays the FBI agent in pursuit, only barely able to cover his British accent. Stenberg, the girl who plays the young lead is very good, especially during the parkour chase through the streets of Bogota. Vartan plays the romantic interest but is barely used, he's very good and I wonder why he doesn't do more. This is a very good movie and more than worth the watch.
MVP: Zoe Saldana, who else, is sexy, vulnerable and extremely dangerous as the graceful assassin Cataleya
