How convenient

Rating: 2/10 (8 January 2012)

Definition of Pastiche: "an incongruous combination of materials, forms, motifs, etc., taken from different sources; hodgepodge." There is no real plot here. Just a series of ever escalating pastiches that make no sense. To make the parts fit together everything appears as choppy matters of convenience.
How convenient when the apartment is raided that the chaser looks out the window exactly when AJ is hidden by an air conditioner. How convenient that when global world security is in NYC for the funeral of the vice president AJ magically is under the cathedral.
How convenient that when a motorcycle is needed to escape a traffic jam and police vehicle that one not only appears but is disarmed and taken over in the flash of an eye.
How convenient that the police vehicle chasing the motorcycle is on the left side of traffic jam...then suddenly is driving down a hill on the right side of the traffic jam...how did all the cars get leapfrogged? The Lara Croft films were at least tongue in cheek. The acknowledgment of "cheese" helped make those films "work." Salt has none of the fun...just haphazard editing jumbling together some ridiculous sets of scenes.
This is the type of film that is the reason why I became an author and am creating my own material...I can and have done worlds better than this crap!
