Salt

"Who is Salt?", we have been continuously asked on movie posters across the land, under which the words "Angelina Jolie" appear, thus bringing a swift and satisfying conclusion to this brief conundrum.

 

 
Sadly the film of Salt takes considerably longer to answer the question, and it concludes that Salt is:
  • A woman who is incapable of kicking anyone without first running half way up a wall
  • A woman who works for the CIA, who interrogate defectors using an amazing device which can detect both lies and cancer
  • A woman who lives in a world where windows are used as exits more often than doors, and are glazed with that magic movie glass that shatters at the slightest impact but doesn't leave a single mark on anyone passing through it
  • A woman whose life is like an entire series of 24 condensed into 100 minutes
  • A woman who tediously sets herself up for a franchise despite making only an average movie
