Firstly, though this film may, MAY, rate a four, I'm rating lower to even the field.
I'm amazed at all the positive reviews. Acting is hardly mediocre, most especially the lead. Flat even for a cliché role. And the plot is atrociously contrived and ends up with more holes than the bad guys.
Foremost: Cataleya is not searched after being arrested. You can't plow into a police car, drunk, and expect to see daylight until a very substantial bail is payed in cash AFTER an arraignment. Ohhh, and a jail that has pop-open ventilation grills? Fed Cops put a high risk inmate in a cell without inspecting it first? The list goes on.
Why did the CIA sit idly after letting the Colombian dogs out and not alert the Feds? Did they not think to follow the hounds they set free? Surely at least to have the Feds watch the safehouse as the CIA is jurisdiction bound to operate only off US soil. How and why did the Feds suddenly go from a precinct full of suspects to a drunk woman whose cell picture suddenly becomes a 3D image to verify a match that warrants a swat assault without further surveillance? And does our Heroine get a van inside a CIA safe-house unnoticed by either CIA or the Cartel after poking her hottest buttons? And don't get me started on the extremely weak plot device under the guise of romance that merely opened more plot mayhem.
Luc Besson wrote this? I don't believe that, or maybe he just wanted Uropa stockholders to have a thrill. HaHa,weeeeeeeeeee! Some said this film was action-packed. HUH? The only good action in this film is the first chase scene in Colombia, the rest are canned bang bang pieces.
If the objective is to showcase strong woman in strong roles then don't chop their legs of with a weak plot. Sorry Zoe.
