Not more than a typical popcorn flick, but I would say that I am not disappointed...I loved this movie mostly because a woman was the lead ;).... its entertaining...no doubt about it...its nice on the eye {Thanks to her beauty.. no wonder Angie got sexiest lips on this planet ;)
I even heard from my friends that first this role of 'Edwin Salt' was offered to Tom Cruise but i am glad he opted out as its pretty obvious ;)...this movie is 'all style and no substance' but again you can't complain on this aspect as most action films are similar on this scale....Coming to the core of the movie.....its just a little dumb, very expensive action movie with absolutely no character depth...film is filled with narrow escapes, close calls and tons of gun violence... But, hey, that's what spy movies are all about. Isn't it ? A trip to the loo will mean that you're more likely to miss a couple of explosions...gun shots... Jolie's new hair wig color...n few of her sexy looks rather than a couple of plot twists...LOL
For mindless high-impact entertainment you probably won't need to look any further than this one ...but i can assure you its not as mindless as movies like 'A-Team & Losers'..(God only knows how i survived even after watching them)
Coming to the movie script...it was OK considering the genre but nothing out-standing. As I said earlier, all were certainly 'little' above average, but nothing exceptional but IMO, in future(if this movie got one) if the script n plot are pumped with little more adrenaline i am sure it has got the potential of turning into a decent female James Bond series

As far as Jolie , I do like her (i am sure by now its pretty obvious..LOL) but I did not see such great acting here {who cares am damned wit her lips n looks ;)}unless you think great acting is the ability to jump around with weired kinda hair wigs but she was not a bad choice for this either; considering jodie foster is too old for such roles ;)
I don't wanna say that you shouldn't watch this film, it's decent if you need to kill two hours of your time n esp if you are fan of angie, but it doesn't change the fact that the film is only enjoyable only if you switch your brain off otherwise it will badly affect the fun!
My rating 6.5/10
