SALT: JUST A LITTLE PLEASE

Peabody: I'd say she's a trained goddamn liar, and everything she's said up until now has been to protect her cover.
Ted Winter: Why don't you tell me how you really feel about it.

Typically, my favorite kinds of movies are the ones with strong female lead characters. Considering I could probably bench press stick figure Angelina Jolie with one hand, Salt was less than thrilling for me. However, she proves to be quite the runner. See Angie run. See Angie jump on truck. See Angie run, kick some ass, shoot some guys, and run some more... it wasn't a bad movie per se, it was just rather bland for being named salt. Evelyn Salt is a product of the Cold War. If you watch carefully enough, you can practically see the moment when we know exactly what kind of agent she is. The thing is, that once we find out, we really don't care. This is more of a "big" picture movie where Liev Schreiber steals the thunder. The worst part of this movie is that they left the ending open for a sequel. Maybe by then they will be able to add some more spice.
