Salt - Movie Review

Just in time to keep the late summer movie season momentum going, Salt fills the hot-chick-thumping-on-bad-guys niche that's been lacking. Yeah, yeah, I know, the role was originally intended for Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise, Angeline Jolie, whoever. It's all about style and either one of 'em would do for the roll of someone doing impossible things against impossible odds.

The movie moves along quite jauntily with Jolie doing what it is she's supposed to do to make you believe that first she's one person and then another and then finally another. You won't be entirely surprised by the outcome and the ending but so what? You just munched your way through a tub of popcorn and a huge container of soda while sitting in the cool dark in the middle of a long hot summer. What are you complaining about?
