The ending is...strange

Rating: 5/10 (28 August 2010)

You cannot complain. It's a nice action movie with a good looking woman. Good guys, bad guys, good guys turning bad, bad guys turning good. Asassination, atomic war, gadgets, firearms...all that stuff.
Of course, it's not very realistic. That is not expected of an action movie. So, yes, she would not budge most of her opponent, let alone bring them down. And all of those CIA/FBI/SecretService dudes are bad shots and can not get a heli within 10min. I liked it better with Die Hard...Willis can really suffer and looks like hell. Salt does not even break a sweat, smear her lipstick or get her white dress dirty. It does not really matter. It's an action movie...
But beware of the plot. It's a mess. You get the feeling, that this was written and rewritten a lot and nobody fixed errors between those versions. Or kicked some characters of the set. Her husband? Just needed for the spider venom and to kill. The dog? Never heard of.
The worst part is the ending. The CIA-Agent tells her "Even if you are telling the truth, I would be the only one who believes you."...??? He and that strange president (why take the real one from Russia and a fake one from USA? Morgan Freeman was busy?) the evil guy did not kill, because....I don't know. He kills everyone, but the president, although he just needed his fingerprints. Even after everything is ready he just did not kill him. But he has seen the bad guy in action and could at least tell that.
I hope there is no sequel. This one is better left alone...
