{{tropelist}}
* [[Arc Words]]: "Never forget...Never forget where you came from".
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: Cateleya sneaks through the ventilation system of the jail to get to her target. Somewhat subverted, as the vents are claustrophobically small and she has to improvise a way past a fan. Later, she uses the vents in her building to escape the FBI raid on her house.
Line 14 ⟶ 13:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: {{spoiler|Cataleya's dogs, who eat the cartel head.}}
* [[CIA Evil, FBI Good]]: Agent Ross of the FBI continually comes to grips against Agent Williams of the CIA, who is actively stonewalling Ross' investigation to prevent him from discovering Agency's ties to the cartel boss who killed Cataleya's parents.
* [[Everything's Even Worse
* [[Fake American]]: Brit Lennie James plays an American FBI agent. His American accent is flawless but at one point, while searching cars, he [[Separated
* [[Fake Nationality]]: Half Puerto-Rican/half Dominican Zoe
* [[Flower Motif]]: The "Cataleya" orchid. (also "[[wikipedia:Pleurothallis|Colombiana]]" is a real kind of orchid)
* [[Girls
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Cutting to the outside of the van, {{spoiler|which is rocking back and forth as Cataleya's dogs eat the cartel head}}
* [[Hollywood Silencer]]
* [[Improvised Weapon]]: The climax manages to do this with a towel. And it's awesome.
* [[Insecurity Camera]]: Played straight in her first hit, as she's trying to frame a guard. Subverted later, since when she shoots out some cameras to hide her movment, it tells the FBI exactly where she is.
* [[It Works Better
* [[Laser Sight]]: The red dot helps to let the target know she's not bluffing.
* [[Le Parkour]]: By a 9 year old schoolgirl, no less. As well as one of the [[Mooks]] chasing her.
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Cataleya. Just count the number of times she's naked, partially naked, wet or wearing skintight clothing.
* [[Playing Drunk]]: Cateleya does this (hilariously!) to get arrested and thrown in jail with one of her assassination targets.
* [[Properly Paranoid]]: Cateleya empties the guns her target might use, searches an FBI agent's house for hidden cameras, and seems to have planed an air-vent escape from her apartment if it's ever raided.
* [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]]: With a healthy side of [[More Dakka]] and a light garnishing of [[Guns Akimbo]]. Taken [[Up to Eleven]] after her last remaining relatives are killed. She dispenses with her ninja tactics, send an RPG round through the front door and storms the place guns blazing.
* [[Small Girl, Big Gun]]: Especially that giant sniper rifle.
* [[Spiritual Sequel]]: Apparently, the movie began life as a sequel to ''Leon [[Léon: The Professional]]'' and mainly centered around Mathilda, but was changed into something else over the years. The changes came about presumably because [[Word of God|Natalie Portman would have cost too much to hire.]]
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Emilio, in an attempt to scare Cataleya {{spoiler|out of wanting to be an assassin, casually pulls out a gun and takes potshots at a passing car. In broad daylight. In the middle of Chicago. ''In front of a school.''}} ''No one'' cares that he did this.
* [[Waif Fu]]
