had promise but went downhill

Rating: 2/10 (1 October 2013)

After watching Angelina Jolie in the 'lara Croft' films I felt she was more than capable of portraying a tough CIA agent, but after watching 'Salt' I was extremely disappointed in the film. To Jolie's credit it wasn't so much her fault as it was the writer's.The film became gradually more and more ridiculous to the point where Jolie slips past US Secret Service looking as a transvestite (I mean seriously, a blind man would have thought Jolie looked suspicious). A double agent embedded in the CIA is an acceptable plot, but turning Jolie into an unstoppable killing machine...... One of the most ridiculous parts of the film occurs at the climax when Jolie is able to incapacitate/kill dozens of secret service agents mainly with her bare hands.How on earth a 55kg woman can do that against a group of agents with a high level of tactical training is beyond me. More importantly, Why do none of them shoot her instead of trying to fight hand to hand? dumbfounding. To those of you thinking this is similar to the 'Bourne' series, its not. This movie is absolute rubbish to put it mildly. I would rather watch any bourne film a million times than ever have to watch this film again. I found 'Hot Shots' more believable!
