I found the movie unrealistic

**"Killing" the Russian President. I'm sure the best security in the world would've been at that funeral. Not only did they know she was coming, they still managed to botch it up. If she wanted, she could've killed the president and gotten away with that too.

**She escaped? No way are you gonna assasinate a world figure and then escape a few mintues later on your own, and then simply walk away.

**Infiltrating the White House is crazy. I know she had a little bit of help to get started, but making down to the lower levels, whipping numerous trained agents, and getting within close proximity of the president was unbelievable.

I did enjoy the movie, but it was a little far-fteched for me. I watched the Extended Disc with lots of extra goodies on it. If you're a real fan of this movie, you'll be wanting to get your hands on this.

This movie is right now on Discovery Channel so don't you dare say it's unrealistic!

Salt had no trouble breaking the bottle to kill Orlov but the glass jar containing the spider in her backpack didn't break despite her falling from a great hight onto a moving lorry directly onto her backpack. Her laptop computer wasn't damaged either. Of course, had they been damaged, she couldn't have completed her mission to "kill" the Russian President and a different film plot would be necessary. In that event, it's likely she would become the target of assassination by the other Russian sleepers. She didn't know the location of the barge until she met Orlov who took her there and Orlov wouldn't have agreed to meet her unless she killed the Russian President. Therefore, her husband would've been killed and she wouldn't have learned about the plot to take over the US nuclear missile system and kill the US President. Since it was so important that the glass jar in her backpack not break why did the director have her land on the lorry on her back? Rediculous!

It's an action movie.

The movie was far fetched at times, Hollywood tends to make movies on the spur of popular news, i.e. this movie I suspect was to take hold and extrapolate as only Hollywood can the fears concerning the recently exposed Russian spy ringSource:Salt Moviehttp://moviereviews.noskram.com/2011/05/movie-reviews-salt

I find it unrealistic a man could dress up as a giant bat and fight crime but hey.

Oh yes because the rest of the film where a 110 pound female is throwing men around like rag dolls is realistic. Any movie where a female is winning using hand to hand combat with a male is a fantasy film unless she has super powers.
