Poorly Written Action Movie

Rating: 4/10 (21 March 2011)

Salt takes the serious note of national security and mixes the fantasy of the X-Men franchise. There in lies the problem of how a 110 lb super spy might as well have super powers as she cuts through secret service agents, CIA, and special forces of the US government all while keeping her hair and make up done.
This movie had a some what good idea of a cold war era plan still achieving reality, although the direction took away any realism leaving the viewer without any moment of suspense. No danger was ever truly conveyed to the audience as it didn't matter what peril our hero found him or herself in.
Character development was poor as the audience cared very little if our heroes of villains lived or died. We have no bonding to any of the characters or chemistry showing they were anything more than robots obeying orders. As such it made the movie nothing more than a spectacle of special effects and far fetched objectives that ended along with the fall of the Berlin wall.
Save yourself the hour and forty minutes. Don't bother watching.
