Guilty as charged(?)

Rating: 6/10 (28 December 2010)

At least with pleasure. Guilty pleasure that is. If you into this expecting class as in "The Fugitive" than you are in for a big disappointment. This is nowhere near that movie. And it is only closely related of course. While "Salt" was supposed to be played by a male, I am happy that A. Jolie got that role and made it her own. It still does not diffuse from the fact, that the script is weak at best!
But what is not weak, is the action choreography. It is shot very nicely. So if you are looking for a movie to pass the time, with enough tension and suspense, with a great lead actress, you could do worse than choose this movie. But if you are looking for depth of character than rent the Harrison Ford movie. The character bits here feel strangely forced and almost feel like annoying bits between the action. Maybe a little Pepper would have helped ...
