Exposed as being a Russian Spy, a CIA agent goes on the lam trying to avoid capture and prove her innocence.

• Poster: C-

Review:

All too plain. Salt is considered a spice, so could they have at least jazzed it up a little. Of course, Angelina Jolie's visage may be all the film requires, but it would be nice to have something better.

• Trailer: C+; B-

Review:

A bit far-fetched in terms of narrative structure, the trailer suggests that perhaps the film revolves around either a double-agent motif or works on the premise of a rogue imposter. Either way, it will do well at the box office simply because of Angelina Jolie.

I don't know that this is really an improvement over the original, this one is a little more quickly paced and reveals less of the initial plot, but gives more of an idea of what the film is going to be like.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
