Colombiana

Zoe Saldana is a traumatized young woman who, as a child, watched her Colombian drug cartel participating parents get killed. From that minute, she set her path to become a killer and rain death and vengeance on the cartel boss. She becomes a fabulous assassin with training from her Chicago based uncle and works her way through a series of low level cartel members to attract the attention of the boss, drawing him out from his protective status as a CIA informant. She is subtle, precise and focused in her work which (unfortunately, because she is an assassin) makes it fun to watch. She suffers great loss again and again, and in the end (as we all know) probably does not find satisfaction, even having gained what she sought.
