ERA (Equal Rights Annoyance)

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2012)

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a female Rambo-type butt-kicker - how commonplace in today's movies. Really, the whole 'GI Jane' genre is becoming repetitious as well as farcical. Here is another skinny chick with martial arts training, an assault weapons expert, an ingenious quick-thinker and all-around bad-ass who can hold her own against a legion of heavily armed guys. Give me a substantial break.
Otherwise, "Salt" is pretty good and with a twist ending that almost negates the rest of the comic book trash that litters the movie. She can jump from moving truck to moving truck, wipe out rooms-full of the heavily armed guys mentioned above, jump from a helicopter from an absurd height - oh, who cares. Maybe, as was mentioned, it would have been better with Tom Cruise as the lead, or maybe not. I just know that it's laughable with 'Ultra-Slim' as the star.
