The female version Jason Bourne, but lacks plot

Rating: 6/10 (1 March 2011)

The trailers built this movie up as the female version of Jason Bourne. After seeing it, "Salt" is the female Jason Bourne. She kills armies of bad guys, knows martial arts, and is even capable of jumping from one tractor-trailer to another on an interstate. Like Matt Damon as Bourne, Jolie makes her own character as Salt. However, this film lacks a solid, structured story, and even some character motivation.
One minute Salt is a loyal CIA agent. The next, the CIA turns on her as a Russian in an interrogation room tells the agents Salt is a Russian spy. Really? Believe the Russian in the interrogation room over a loyal agent? And guess what, she is a spy. Later on she fulfills killing her target and then she turns on her own comrade-in-arms and saves the world for destruction. Uh? I'm confused. It seems that the screenwriters can't make up their minds. Liev Schreiber being a villain is also obvious—it has come to the point of being a cliché. Despite all of the mindlessness in plot and Salt's sudden twist of loyalty, betrayal, and loyalty, the movie wasn't too terrible. Why? The pointless action was enough to satisfy me.
My rating: 2.5/4
If there's going to be a sequel, it should be titled "Pepper."
