Twenty minutes and forty-six seconds. That is how long I could stand this movie before I said no more. I wasn't going to spend the next hour of my life on this piece of shit. The dialogue right from the start was just miserable. It sounded like they didn't even really try, like maybe the audience with be so enthralled by the action that they will not even hear the words. The acting? Well there is Angelina Jolie,Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Liev Schrieber. Sounded pretty promising, but it wasn't. I am going to chalk this one up to bad screenplay and dialogue, but the acting was below sub-par. I couldn't even really believe what I was seeing. I hope the individual or individuals behind this movie's script were dragged out into the street and shot. Don't even get me started on the storyline. After twenty minutes I could tell this was just going to be a stupid experience. Russians creating super-spies to bring down America. Spies trained by a "spymaster". That's right, spymaster, they actually used that word in the movie! Even the Austin Powers' films could get better wording.
I wasn't expecting much from "Salt", but, I wasn't expecting a such insult to the movie industry either. I thought it might be a fun action flick, but you know, I have my standards. After the extreme mediocrity of the opening half, I just totally lost interest. Hell, sounds like North and South Korea are preparing for war, I might just watch that instead. Too bad there is no more Mystery Science Theater 3000, because "Salt" would make for a good one.
Verdict: Don't, just don't. Grade: F
If you liked this movie you might like: Every bad movie ever made.
