silly movie packed with impressive action‏

Rating: 5/10 (3 November 2010)

This is really a stupid movie but having very spectacular action sequences; the film's homemade weapons are even more impressive than the ones in the Bourne series and so we see a spider-poison filled syringe, shoe knives, a chair-leg rocket-launcher and so on. What is sensational and exciting about Salt (aside from Angelina's performance) is the relentless pace, the fact that the story is so devoted to being action and nothing else, no room for other issues (the query the film raise "Is the Cold War really over" is handled in a very unlikely manner). What prevents Salt from being up to the Bourne episodes is certainly the total unlikeliness, as it's only about action, though very well rendered and staged.
