Title: Dragged Down by the Weight of its Own Stupidity
Product review: "Salt" is not as bad as "Avatar: The Last Airbender" but it is so much worse in so many other ways. The plot is a relic of the Cold War, a throwback to the fifties and sixties Red Menace scare, and is as lame as it is implausible. I think the idea of Russians assuming the identity of Americans might have worked if the Russians were space aliens instead. The amount of drama and the quality of acting in "Salt" made it comparable to a first-person shooter video game -- and it would have certainly been better as one instead of being a movie.
