You shouldn’t always trust reviews’ opinions. One of the most viewed films recently on Netflix France did not win the approval of moviegoers when it was released in 2011. Colombian currently occupies second place in the top 10 but only obtained a 27% approval score on the review site Rotten Tomatoes. In 2011, this feature film, written by Luc Besson and directed by Olivier Megaton, recorded only 600,000 admissions at the French box office. We have to believe that French spectators have had a long-term attachment to this action film. We follow the story of Cataleya Restrepo.
