Colombiana

A new Luc Besson film, out sometime in autumn:



Thanks, Dianne

I hadn't heard of this before. Anyone else? While watching it, I was struck by how few (any?) films there are of women assassins who kill people just because they're good at it and/or it pays well. I get a little tired of them always having to have suffered Childhood Trauma. Note to screen writers: women can make choices. We don't always have to be damaged and obsessive. Find another way, people. Find it soon.

  1. I see: you want them to do it for money and, well, kicks. That makes it a different kind of movie.

  2. Anon, I want to see an examination of the kind of people who really do kill people for money. Just for a change.
