Salt

One almost gets to feeling spoiled, as after Inception we have 2 weeks in a row of good movies opening. I am as grateful and shocked as you are, but still feeling the rope burns from Jonah’s Airbending Eclipse to think this anything but a hiccup of goodness amidst the mediocrity
. I’m not sure what it means that The Expendables is the only thing left during the hot pocket months that genuinely generates fissions of excitement, even if it is just to see old 80’s stars groan, creak, and Ben Gay their way through exploding jeeps.
At least we have Salt to remind us what a fun summer flick should be for about 100 minutes. It’s an above average action movie that succeeds where last month’s A-Team worked only intermittently and a lot less ridiculous than Jolie’s last action attempt Wanted.
