All Action - but Storyline A Flop

Rating: 1/10 (8 January 2011)

This is an absolutely absurd movie. From an intriguing plot line, the movie just doesn't deliver. There are holes in the plot that one could drive a Mack Truck through and not come close to scraping the sides. Far too much time is spent on chase / action scenes with no plot development. Unless one is fond of James Bond escapes, the action scenes don't deliver. Good fiction is the willing suspension of disbelief - the absurdities throughout the movie never make compelling watching. Salt's ability to escape time-after- time from impossible situations is possible only if all the security forces (American / Russian / Korean) majored in stupid. The Keystone Kops are geniuses in comparison. All that was lacking from the sound was a laugh track for all the silly escapes. The acting of the major characters is wooden by all. Don't waste 2 hours of your time, as I did, in watching.
