Salt and Unicorns

I just saw Salt on Aaron's recommendation.  I agree with him on many points: the action is fun, the plot is not too predictable (except for the big twist in the underground bunker -- come on, you knew. I know you knew.), and the movie is kind of brave for embracing a non-traditional protagonist.

ON THE OTHER HAND, the absurdity of the plot (no discernible motivation for villainy, Spanish Prisoner-like accuracy required for the scheme to work) and some of the execution (that goofy Mission Impossible manly-mask, Spider-Man elevator hopping) makes me think that I might be able to sell one of my many wacky movie ideas someday.  Like that one about the unicorn born without a horn who kills all the other unicorns out of spite and envy, and then retires peacefully to a horse farm in Texas until he is found out by the CIA, who want to use his unicorn-genes to create an army of unicorn soldiers.  In the end, the big twist will be that the non-horned unicorn is not actually a unicorn, but was a horse all-along, and the CIA will look like idiots.
