Salt

Intention - make money
Achieved - using Angelina Jolie. She has fans .. a huge lot of fans. Then again she's doing all those cool stunts. So the shows are houseful.



Story - Is trivial. There is a traitor somewhere who wants to kill the Russian President, someone frames her and spreads the word that she is a Russian spy. The story is nothing more but her struggle to prove her innocence, find the real traitor and save her husband.

Direction - Even though the story was rather trivial, this movie could have been a lesser disaster. There is too much confusion throughout. You have no clue whether you are being shown the past or the present. At the end you are left with questions like "Who was this guy?" "Why was this guy in the story?" "Where did this mega destruction weapon fit in?"
and finally
"Why did I go watch this movie?"
and even worse
"Why was this show houseful?"
