Very good movie, saw it four times. . .
When this movie was in theater's, I saw this movie about four times.
It is not the greatest movie of all times, but it is very entertaining, and I do like the revenge flics, and Zoe Saldana did a very good job portraying the character, she had a good balance between revenge and her emotions over what she was doing, she was not the typical heartless killer. On par her character reminded me of Denzel Washington character from "Man on Fire", both characters balanced their revenge and their emotions with their revenge acts.
The movie could have been better, maybe more character development with the bad guys and her parents to fully understand the revenge, other than that she saw them killed in front of her.
I am hoping the unrated version will open up more story line to the film, if not, I will still enjoy the film.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to satisfy their revenge flic need, like Man on Fire, Man a Part, etc.
A shoot-em-up movie based on a young girl's desire for revenge!
Young 10 year old Cataleya witnesses the murder of her father and mother at the hands of a vicious drug cartel leader and his assassins. The murder was caused by her father's wish to leave the cartel and start a new life with his family. Before her father is murdered he gives his young daughter a memory chip and tells her where to go in case something happens and to give the man the chip and tell him that it is her passport.
Cataleya (A name for a local Columbian orchid) escapes by attacking the man who helped kill her family and winds up in Chicago living with her uncle and his mom. He is a ruthless criminal also and she tells him that she wants to grow up to be a professional killer. He teaches her that anyone can be a killer and stupid and get caught but she must go to school, learn, be trained and become the best to be able to always get away.
Thus starts the saga of Cataleya's life and her goal to find and avenge her family's murder by killing the men...
Fun Ride With a Solid Cast
Fun Fast Ride With a Solid Cast. Enjoy it for what it is; a Nikita-type revenge flick. But it is a good one. Every role is cast well and acted well. The story itself is a good new twist on a classic revenge genre, and the pace is good. Even though at first I thought they spent too much time developing the little girl [our young protagonist] after watching the movie, it was actually the perfect length.
Fun and hard with just enough humanity in the story.
I was actually shocked by the negative reviews here and on iTunes.
Great flick well worth the rental.
