The reason that Scarface poster is so iconic is 'cuz of the briliant black/white contrast.
That Salt poster offers nothing close to that level of visual sumptuousness.
Unless you love background blurs.

I'm personally creeped out by the crappy Photoshop job on Ms. Jolie in this poster. I'm pretty sure she had a nose the last time I saw a picture of her. And what's with the Holocaust-victim cheekbones? Are they trying to make her look like Michael Jackson?
I'm with Mathias here -- In this case, I'd much rather look at Al Pacino than Angelina Jolie. Never thought I'd say that.

Angelina Jolie with a gun--again? Yawn!
(And yes, I never thought I'd find myself saying that as well.)
I always preferred the original Scarface with Paul Muni and Ann Dvorak--especially Ann Dvorak!--over the Al Pacino version. But I will admit the DePalma version has a better movie poster than Salt. (Of course, the world is filled with movies that have great posters but no stories worthy of said posters. YMMV, of course.)
