Ludicrous, waste of time, total hype.

Rating: 2/10 (4 August 2010)

All I wanted was something to chew my popcorn to and forget my day. Instead my intelligence was insulted and I left feeling ripped off.
There are some fine and thoughtful action movies out there - the Bourne trilogy represent three of them. Salt does not. Really... it is bad. You won't want it to be bad because SHE is in it, and because the trailer or poster sold it to you, or because you just spent $20 on it. But you'll know, deep down, the choice was wrong. You've been duped.
From the first scene to the end of the movie, I hoped in vain for something that seemed credible or edgy or innovative or even just interesting. This movie had none of that - you can guess the "baddie" without too much trouble, most of the characters are cardboard cut-outs, the action sequences aren't impressive, just dumb.
We all know why we went to see this movie - Angelina Jolie. If you've seen the trailer, and you've seen Ms Jolie before (Youtube for a fix), you really don't need to see this ridiculous straight-to-DVD if AJ wasn't in it. If the cinema had to refund viewers of bad movies, this "film" would gross about $55.
