My latest MSN Movies gallery uses “Salt” as a lever into the world of the hero on the run — someone who’s been framed for murder (or worse) and forced to disappear underground to clear his or her name.

… okay, it’s always a “his” sort of situation, which is why casting Jolie as the running woman in “Salt” seems so edgy and modern. Frankly, I’d just rather watch her go through the motions in this sort of movie than Tom Cruise. She makes for a much more interesting fugitive these days.
