ummm....what?

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2011)

So the whole point of this story is that US CIA/Secret Service/Police/etc. are the most incompetent group of idiots in the history of the Earth?!? The "secure tower" where Salt is trying to escape from is chock-full of fancy defense systems like area-quarantine doors and a full CCTV system and someone decided it would be a good idea to put an unprotected man-sized window where an escapee could just conveniently break it and walk out? Not to mention every armed guard in the whole movie with a sub-machine gun can easily be punched or kicked and they fall down and give up! How convenient! Oh yea, and the CIA officials, who are trained professional marksman can't hit her 20 feet away! All that could be forgiven if this movie were an Arnold Schwarzenegger or Chuck Norris shoot-em-up film, but it tried to be a legitimate political thriller, and that just doesn't work.
Is this film watchable? Yes, if you turn your brain off for the duration....
