Salt is one of those rare action films that has non-stop action hitting for ninety minutes straight and everything is done with a brain. Originally written for a star actor, in which Tom Cruise was the first candidate, but after he refused because he was too similar to his role in Mission: Impossible makers changed the script and took on Angelina Jolie to play the same role reworked for a first female lead.

Evelyn Salt (Jolie) is a CIA officer who is amazing in his work. She has done everything to protect the United States. One day while she was leaving work to go home to her husband for their anniversary, a strange man enters the office with a CIA accusation very strange about Salt. As she and her partner, Ted Winter (Schreiber), sitting around to hear him speak, things start to get a little crazy. This man, who is considered a deserter, said that Evelyn is actually a Russian spy who was planted in the United States to kill the President. Salt not return, thinking it can not be true, and makes a run for it. Ted is on his side at first, but as the cons-espionage agent Peabody (Ejiofor) step, he begins to realize that Evelyn might actually be a Russian spy. His actions do not help us escape, but she wants to make sure her husband is safe, even if it means risking his life. As the film goes, we learn more about who is really Salt. The question is whether he can prove his innocence before being captured.


The action is absolutely non-stop, but the best part is that it's credible. Director Philip Noyce (Clear and Present Danger) does not go over to where the action seemed unreal. Being that this film is about 90 percent share, there is a great story to tell and occurring. The twists and turns of the plot are very surprising and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Throughout the movie, you will really matter is Salt. As the story goes deeper than you begin to focus on the character, but the best part is that you never really know his true intentions. That we hope will leave the movie open for a sequel.

Jolie has finally filled the gap where one is able to watch his character as an action star, rather than a female or male. Each performance in the film is pretty strong with incredibly talented actors, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Liev Schreiber.

The film is short (100 minutes running time), fun and you get to see Angelina Jolie kick butt and are hot. Do not watch it on big screen.
