Cataleya witnessed her parents killed by a Columbian crime boss when she was little. As any other child of a deadly hitman, she escaped her own death by laying a “whooping” down on the assassins and escaping to America to live with her Uncle Emilio (Cliff Curtis) who is also involved in some savory work in Chicago. Cataleya wants to be a “killer” like her daddy and 15 years later (as Zoe Saldana) she gets busy at it racking up 20+ assassinations in nearly impossibly planned ways leaving her “calling card” drawn on the victims’ bodies as the flower she is named after.
Life is good until her boy toy Danny (Michael Vartan) wants to know who this incredibly sexy woman who invades his studio and curls his toes is. The Columbian crap hits the fan as the FBI’s Agent Ross (Lennie James, who seems to always play an agent of some kind) closes in and the crime bosses' men come from the other direction.
They managed to have Zoe nearly scantily clad throughout this entire kill-fest which is a good thing. Those who like to the see the bad guys at the mercy of badder guys (or in this case, gal) will love this movie. Cataleya never gives up the upper hand which makes the movie more fun, a bit unbelievable, and the hand to hand fight scenes have some weird angles which usually mean the fighting badasses aren’t as bad as they should be, but it was a thrilling ride. The action was enjoyable. If you want to see a sexy lady kick some ass in her pjs, you’re in for a hell of a ride!
