Over the weekend I saw a pair of movies, one of which was "Columbiana" with Zoe Saldana. It was a very enjoyable action-adventure film. It is basically an extended revenge tale, with Zoe in the lead role as the beautiful, intelligent, and deadly title character.
It moves crisply along and is a good example of several of the things you need to do to make a successful action film - first, have a charming, likeable, and talented lead. (Ultimately, all movies are about the relationship between the observer and the star - one question alone answers whether or not you like a movie and that is did you relate to the lead actors?
A good relationship with a lead actor can redeem a bad movie. Fortunately, in this case, it wasn't a bad movie. So, if you have an afternoon to kill and you want to watch a friendly little tale of revenge and violence, what better way to spend it than with the charming, talented, and sexy Zoe Saldana.
