What really can I say about Salt? This movie was supremely dumb. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Like, holier than thou dumb. It comes to no surprise that this movie was written by Kurt Wimmer, the genius that brought us Equilibrium and Ultraviolet. It really makes no sense. The whole "LOL I'M A GOOD GUY WAIT NO I'M NOT OR AM I? LOL!" aspect of the script will give you one mean case of whiplash.  
 
But, that's not to say Salt is a bad movie, per se.. It's nonstop, frenetic pace is more than enough to keep your attention for 90 minutes. Bodies fly, people get shot a bunch, shit blows up real good and Evelyn Salt moves on to the next set piece. Just don't stop and actually think about what's going on otherwise you're brain will probably jump out of your skull and kick you in the eyes or something.
