: Salt

The most interesting thing about this film is the pacing: non-stop. It’s a little slow to get going, but once the action starts, it doesn’t let up for a second. I’m not sure that’s a good thing, though, because non-stop punching and running becomes monotonous and uninteresting just like anything else. As for the plot… the less said the better. It’s one of those plots that is designed to sound impressive but has no meat on the bones. It’s absurd and makes little sense (I think I missed something important because I didn’t get it), but the movie moves so fast you don’t notice or much care. You don’t care much about anything or anyone in the film, really. It’s an okay thrill-ride, but it reminds me of one of those amusement park rides with the four mile line and six hour wait and then the ride is two minutes of blur and you get off, slightly dizzy, wondering, “Is that all there is?”
