There's no real set-up for Jolie being some kind of Bourne-like superwoman, yet as soon as the action sequences start she's either MacGuiver or Jackie Chan. The film does have a couple of semi-clever twists, but it also contains a metric ton of stupidity. So basically, like Bourne, it's about a defecting agent running from her employers while simultaneously trying to foil the bad guys. She'll have none of that, though, as she fears for the safety of her spider expert husband. Whether she is one or not, her bosses (Chiwetel Ejiofor and Liev Schreiber) decide to keep her under wraps. It stars Angelina Jolie as a CIA agent who is exposed as a Russian sleeper agent by a Russian defector.
It almost seems as if it were scheduled to make up for the headiness of Chris Nolan's Inception (yeah, I know, it wasn't THAT smart, but compared to the vast majority of American blockbusters.).
And notice how Evenlyn Salt is all covered with dust and grime when she gets into the police car, after the scene at the church, and then when you see her inside the car, not a speck of dust on her hair.
The only downside to the movie was the "last second save", I hate that in movies because it is annoying and been used too much already. It is high adrenaline-filled action from it starts and right up until it ends. "Salt" delivers a good, wholesome entertainment experience, and if you haven't already seen it, you should get to it. And also the storyline was really well thought out, because it keeps you in suspense and keeps you guessing at who is who, who is telling the truth, and what is really going on. For me, this movie was the kind of action movie that kept you nailed to the seat, because you wanted to see what happened next. And also hats off to Liev Schreiber, he also put on a very memorable performance in the movie. Angelina Jolie put on a good performance as Evenlyn Salt, and you could actually buy into her character the way she portrayed it. As for the cast in "Salt", well it was fantastic. (Remember this is entertainment, not real life!) And we follow Evenlyn Salt as the main character.
The story deals with Russian agents trained to infiltrate and sabotage USA, which seemed fairly nice enough. The story told in the movie is fast-paced and full of action right from the very beginning, and there are some really nice twists and turns of events along the way. Having sat through the movie "Salt", I can now say that this is definitely an action movie well worth checking out.
