It is not the severity of the abuse I am commenting on. It is the necessity of
the abuse before we, the viewers, can accept Salt as a kick-ass avenger. This
is not de rigueur in male action films where the impetus is usually a woman

Firefox did another update on Saturday to address the problems with the new

I'm not arguing that trend, but I am arguing that in this case it may have been
justified and appropriate for the film. The point was she was captured by an
enemy government. I liken it to the last Bond flick with Pierce Brosnan, who

I guess what I'm saying is, spy (or potential spy) is captured, then tortured.
