The plot is so confusing, especially with a number of mostly one-dimensional and idiotic side characters that convolute things further. The action sequences aren't even that good I was honestly bored during some of the fight scenes, which are implausible to begin with (she defeats a heavily-trained CIA agent using a toothbrush and towel-are you serious?). Colombiana is an 100-plus minute action movie that only has like 10-15 minutes of solid action, with boring filler for the rest of it. I really hope they don't make another one of these films. And honestly, even with this negative development, Catalea just isn't interesting enough of a character to stimulate viewer interest. So all of these moments that are intended to make the viewer get behind the character (any sequences with her boyfriend or uncle) become huge wastes of screen time. Yes, you feel bad for her at the beginning of the film, but her character never develops in a positive direction, as you would expect in fact, she becomes even more unsympathetic and more brutal as the film goes on.
The main problem is that a lot of the film is dedicated toward building sympathy toward a character that's largely unsympathetic. It has its moments, that's for sure, but it's just boring most of the time.
