I saw Salt. I guessed the plot twists, but I like Coyote stories and this was a good action film style coyote story. Jolie does the action film thing well and I had as much fun watching it as i did, say the Bourne movies. It's Hollywood studio "Wisdom" that women can't carry action films. As a result, they often starve projects like this on funds and advertising if they get green lit at all, which makes it a self fulfilling prophecy. I keep hoping for a movie to prove them wrong, because I like diversity in my action film leads. If any one can break through right now, I'm betting it'd be Angelina, so I'm rooting for her. This movie is not high art, but it is a solid and entertaining entry in a genre that isn't about high art and I do recommend it.
