So in this here flick we have the striking Angelina Jolie as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who interrogates people and apparently just kicks ass in everything related to CIA stuff (I know surprising, right?). Then enters a Russian by the name of Orlov who says that Salt is really a Russian spy who will kill the Russia president during his visit to the US for the Vice President's funeral...whole lotta Russian stuff goin' on. In turn, Salt flees in the most absurd and unrealistic way possible; making home made missile launchers in 60 seconds, jumping off of bridges onto moving trucks, killing rooms full of soldiers without getting a scratch on her. What can I say, Salt is amazing. Then the audience questions whether she really is a Russian spy who kills the Russian president and the US President or is she too legit to quit. Hmm I guess you will just have to see it...but please dont.
I just want to give away the plot twist and the ending to save all of you who plan to spend your hard earned money on this movie, but in my heart I would feel bad and not be doing my job. This movie is so lame, preposterous, and absolutely absurd. I understand that it is suppose to be like that but, come on, it is just laughable. Jolie's films are progressively getting worse and it's because she chooses these cheesy popcorn movies. She really is a good actor but only in the films with strong direction like A Mighty Heart, Changeling, or The Good Shepard. Same goes for Liev Schreiber...I can't let him off the hook...even though he wasn't too bad in this movie it still was not his best performance. None the less I am still a fan of his. For this one I give it a D+. Save your money and email be if you want the twist and ending.
