yeah me too, it was quite a glaring blooper because throughout that scene the vomit was an ominous sight so its dissapearance was too noticeable!

Could be another one, or maybe I'm just being a purve, but quite obviously she wasn't wearing anything under her catsuit then when getting dressed in the cell she had a bra on.

Here's my review: http://wp.me/p1LZHn-3X

It wasn't horrible at least, but how very generic and vanilla.

Playing Zoe Saldana nipple watch kept it interesting enough, at least ;)

Entertaining enough and, for once, the lead action hero(ine) was a woman. I enjoyed the frenetic chase and parkour scenes through the streets of Bogota at the begining, a la James Bond.

Did the picture actually show the hand? I can only remember seeing her face as she slept, yet at the police station the scanned the hand as well. I may be wrong, though. Does anyone remember?

Yes, her hand partially obstructed her face. I hated that whole scene. Such an incredibly ridiculous turn of events that lead to her being found. What are the odds?

Ah, my memory is tricking me then, thanks! Yes, after a while I had to go into suspension of disbelief mode...

Saldana does quite well in playing the cold, distant assassin struggling to connect with her family and boyfriend. But I never really sympathised with her; her parents were murdered which traumatised her and she is driven for a desire for a revenge but this obsession is not explored enough. This narrow minded nature of the film meant there was no character development and the final act, when she realises the consequences of her actions, feels mismatched with the tone of the rest of the film.

A large part of the film is far fetched including the escapes and elaborately planned assassinations. As a result of this, I found it hard to take the film seriously and my mind switched off. It ended up as mindless entertainment in what is essentially a middle of the road film. Easy viewing but there is not much substance to this and skates by off some good action sequences. 6/10.
I think I agree with you funthing. It started off quite promising and then it just became so unbelievable, I got bored. It was so unoriginal. Thought I was watching Thandie Newton too. Could have been much more, but it just did not go anywhere for me. 5/10


Totally agree with funthing and prettyxcool...it could ahve been a good movie and the storyline seemed to start of well but it didn’t deliver at all for me. So unrealistic and boring- 4/10
