SALT(2010)


Who is Salt? The answer is a very average movie. You never really know who Salt is during the movie and that's supposed to be the kicker. Unfortunately I knew who she was right away, thus turning this into a very mediocre movie from start to finish. There's really not the fun element here and that's what action movies need to survive. Since the story and characters are usually very stale. It wants to be the female version of Bond or Ethan Hunt and it's just not either of them. An average action/thriller that won't blow you away, but it won't hurt you to watch it either.


Angelina Jolie gets identified by a defected Russian as an undercover spy. She escapes to clear her name, but you don't really know if she even knows who she is. Is she a Russian spy or is she an American C.I.A. agent?


A rental at best. I'm glad I went to watch "Inception" for the second time last weekend. Instead of this movie on it's opening weekend.
