- 80Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyLos Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyAll of that combines to make Colombiana into a scandalous blend of action, sex and violence. My apologies in advance for having so much fun.
- 75MovielineMichelle OrangeMovielineMichelle OrangeIn catsuits, swimsuits, and skimpy underthings, Saldana is as potently elusive as a shadow can be.
- 63USA TodayClaudia PuigUSA TodayClaudia PuigSaldana is in top form for the acrobatics required in the role, and she makes the gritty determination of her character believable.
- 60Time OutKeith UhlichTime OutKeith UhlichThe jittery aesthetic is a bit grating - there's a three-cut minimum per roundhouse kick - but the spectacularly named Olivier Megaton (Transporter 3) still manages to deliver the action-film goods.
- There are guilty pleasures to be had in this frenzied B starring Zoe Saldana (Avatar, Star Trek), who gives an acrobatic performance that makes the overcooked material watchable, if not entirely enjoyable.
- While most action films fall apart because they succumb to stupidity, Colombiana suffers most because it tries to be too smart.
- 40SalonAndrew O'HehirSalonAndrew O'HehirA movie so addicted to the crack pipe of delirious cinematic badness that it has real potential as a camp classic.
- 12New York PostKyle SmithNew York PostKyle SmithLuc Besson keeps ralphing up scripts about beautiful lady killers, but that doesn't mean you have to keep seeing them. Case in point: Colombiana...[a] dull cable-TV-quality item.
