Salt

Went to see Salt this week, the spy-action thriller with Angelina Jolie playing the part originally intended for Tom Cruise.

It's a hard film to evaluate in part because it starts and ends with giant plot holes-- everything in between, but it takes what to me is a giant improbability to get things started and a massive oversight to avoid the more obvious ending.

Let me know if you see it, or if you plan not to bother, because I can't really discuss it without spoilers, but I think it includes a couple of aspects that fit our discussion here. I don't think Evelyn Salt is exactly the woman we've been searching for, but I think the film gives us a couple more clues.
