10 Biggest Hits—and Misses!—of Movie Summer

The summer box office might as well have been titled Inception. That's how hard it was to figure out. Ticket prices were sky high, but ticket sales were slightly off. Tom Cruise bombed, and then he didn't. And so on and so odd.

Salt: Laughter and disappointment

Well ladies and gentlemen; if the CIA, FBI and Secret Service are as incompetent as those portrayed in “Salt,” we may all be in some real danger. They continuously allow Jolie, who plays rogue CIA agent Evelyn Salt, to slip from their grasp on no less than 10 occasions, all more unbelievable than the next.
And, maybe it’s this sheer lack of believability that just sealed the deal on this being one of the most ridiculous movies of the summer. I may not be a CIA agent, but even I could tell that some of these feats were remarkably improbable.

Angelina Jolie's SALT: reviews

Salt ****

BY ROGER EBERT / July 21, 2010

"Salt" is a damn fine thriller. It does all the things I can't stand in bad movies, and does them in a good one. It's like a rebuke to all the lousy action movie directors who've been banging pots and pans together in our skulls. It winds your clock tight and the alarm doesn't go off for 100 minutes.
It's gloriously absurd. This movie has holes in it big enough to drive the whole movie through. The laws of physics seem to be suspended here the same way as in a Road Runner cartoon. Angelina Jolie runs full speed out into thin air and doesn't look down until she's in the helicopter at the end.

Jolie is one fine-looking woman. You don't need me to tell you that. It's why she gets the big bucks. The movies have celebrated her eyes, lips, profile, biceps, boobs, waist, butt, thighs. “Salt" pays tribute to her ankles. Anyone who can jump from the heights she does here, in the way she does it, may die from a lot of causes, but a sprained ankle won't be one of them.
