This looks as if it might have some gaming potential:

As far as marketing for this film goes, the roundup of Russian spies in the United States couldn't have come at a more propitious time.

perfect timing i'd say

It's all a publicity stunt!

Well, I said when I first heard about this Russian spy bidness that is sounded like something from a movie. It helps that this Anna Chapman looks like Maggie Gyllanhaal.

I guess the FBI's proved that it can do something right for a change.

Just got back from seeing this movie. It's a lot of fun. I will try to write up Ms. Salt at some point in the future and post her here.

Things worth stealing from Salt besides Mrs. Evelyn Salt herself:


The Cold War - just because it has been over for 20 years doesn't mean we can't use it in our games. People still kill nazis don't they.
Chase scenes - I have never ran an extended chase scene involving multiple changes in mode of transportation in a game. I think that I have been missing out here.
Large cells of highly placed sleeper cells - you could do a whole campaign bases pm something like this.
Characters trained from birth - usually more of a superhero trope but there is no reason you couldn't do it in a DC game.


I'm sure there are many other things worth taking from the movie, but this is all that I got.

Characters trained from birth is totally Ninja.
