Colombiana Ending Explained: What Happens To Cataleya

2011’s Colombiana had an action-packed ending that managed to conclude many of the thriller’s storylines. Coproduced by Luc Besson and directed by Olivier Megaton, the script for Colombiana was based on Mathilda, originally written as a sequel to 1994’s Leon: The Professional by Besson, who wrote both the iconic crime drama and the 2011 action thriller. Many of the themes of Colombiana and Leon overlap, with Cataleya’s story, sounding eerily similar to Mathilda’s with her being taken in by her uncle Emilio after her parents’ murder in Bogotá forces her to escape to the States and incites her to learn how to become a killer in this intense Zoe Saldana movie.
