Colombiana (2011)

Very forgettable, kind of halfway between the non-stop fun of the first Transporter and the melodramatic cool of Besson's better directorial efforts. Apparently it was going to be Leon 2 until there were studio disputes and it got retooled into this. I'm glad Leon hasn't been sullied by this film, but wonder whether if it had stayed as Leon 2 it might have ended up better - the general set-up could have been pretty cool (bringing Danny Aiello to the fore) and the idea of getting Portman back almost 20 years later could have had a great Before Sunrise/Before Sunset effect.
Rating: Bad
