Salt: The Female's Answer to Rambo-With Pepper **1/2

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2011)

While there is non-stop action, beautifully paced and a real thriller, you begin to wonder who Evelyn Salt really is and what is she up to?
I thought I was back in The Omen with some wicked children being prepared to do evil. We saw such preparedness on a large scale in the impressive thriller "The Manchurian Candidate," (1962)
How fortunate the Vice President is in this film. He died a natural death. Everyone seems to come and go as if we're in a wicked portion of Oz.
There is distrust all over. You can't trust the CIA. Everyone seems to have an agenda-and that agenda appears to be plotting against everyone else.
The rather abrupt ending doesn't help either. The picture should have been allowed to proceed.
