Vengeance is beautiful - COLOMBIANA
Movie
Outlook: COLUMBIANA
· Not a review
By Samod Biobaku
Columbiana tells
a story; not a story about the terrestrial cultures of Pluto, Neptune or Saturn
but the story of a little girl surrounded by the vicissitudes of crime,
violence, high-level corruption and other familiar members of the twisted
entourage.
Emotions run wild and I have a 97 per cent conviction that a
whole lot of people; especially those with the feminine dose of oestrogen in their
bloodstreams would shed rivers of tears right from the very start of this
movie.
Realistic in its plot; yet, with an alarming measure of
stunt especially for a little girl barely more than 10 years old; although she
grows eventually grows up to become something we are all familiar with.
Columbiana is not one of those movies that kick off on a
sleepy note; leaving the viewer hoping and praying for action in order to keep
the eyelids apart. Rather, guns, knives, speeding bullets, bleeding hands, a
breath-taking chase and the silent pain of psychological misfortune of a little
girl (an innocent child); arrests attention in a flash but not in the same mood
as a loaded weapon aimed at one’s head.
Shot in the United States
and Southern America, the movie takes us into
the intrigues and uncertainties of a beautiful young lady in the wilderness of
fraud, dirty cops and one would surely wonder how far she could go.
How many parents would survive the subtle knocks of a heart
attack when a girl child with a haunted childhood looks up from her meal and
verbalizes her burning desire to become a killer – If you miss the silent
turbulence in her heart, then you cannot miss the blinding conviction in her
eyes. Her name is Cataleya and in
this story, you’ll follow the tale of an innocent child who had always imagined
her days as an adult filled with dreams of accomplishments, a family of her own
and so much more but instead, fate deals her the wrong aces and she ends up on
the other side where darkness, sorrow, loneliness, blood, regrets and a pile of
dead bodies dwell.
Her story tragically teaches how we all want one thing but
end up with something much darker and graver that we ever imagined. We all have
dreams but the nightmares of reality and fate constantly weave a web of grief
and psychological turmoil over our individual and collective lives.
Take a seat and grab and sandwich, burger and a soda but be
careful not to bite too deep into your lips as you might draw blood. Final
warning, do not hold your breath for too long while watching else, this might
prove you very last movie. Columbiana!
One question: How would it feel to have to attend the
funeral of a member of your family each week knowing the killer is right behind
you and there’s not a single thing you could do about it.
One last question: If you had to pick between being the
person in the question above or being the 24th victim in a (murderous)
hit parade, which would it be? Choose wisely.
