Confidential, Robin Hood) and Kurt Wimmer (Equilibrium, Law Abiding Citizen). "SALT" is a kind of ripped form the headlines type of action thriller seeing as it is taking its main plot and premise from a news story about a women who accused of being a Russian spy. "SALT" is a standard order thriller with amazing action sequences and death defying stunts the only thing that sets this film apart from other action movies is the fact that it has a seasoned and highly professional star in the lead role, a veteran action director who knows his way around action sequences and conspiracy thrillers. But the plot to this movie seems to be mired in an over abundance of action sequences and chase sequences and to add on top of all that the film clocks out at a measly 1hr. 39 min which leaves little for character development or story development but truth be told does a movie like this really need all that? I don't think so. This film is more reliant on its action, stunts, chases, and Angelina Jolie's excellent performance as Evelyn Salt. This film has so many plot holes that you could drive a semi truck through it is the epitome of over the top action with each and every sequence delivering one brilliant filmed yet outrageously implausible stunt after another. All the while, the audience is sitting there in awe at the stylish and gritty action that laid out for the audience. "SALTâ… Expand

Salt is definitely a film worth watching. I don't know why anyone's saying it's bad because it's really good. Sure, somethings were strange and unheard of (to me) like a pipe-fire extinguisher-tissue-alcohol rocket launcher.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The bad things in this movie were Mrs. Angelina Jolie performance. I'm a fan since Mr. & Mrs. Smith and Changeling, but I felt like I was watching Lara Croft and Fox ("Wanted" movie) expressions. In example: She can't avoid the same smiles, neither reactions like leaning her head on the wall when things are getting worse. And the script.
Anyway, the good thing in this action movie is the story itself, is some kind of predictable at the beginning but you can't catch the double-double agent. I can't recommend it at all, unless you watch it on a weekend in your DVD/Blue-Ray with your friends.

Greetings.… Expand

Plot was outdated but fast-paced action didn't allow you to dwell on that aspect. If you're looking for more depth there is none; just take it as face value as a spy/action movie and enjoy the ride.

Of course, the driving force is Angelina Jolie as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy. Salt is altogether a static character, but shifts in narrative constantly make our view of her dynamic, no knowing whether to pin her as hero or antihero, and Jolie plays this ambiguity to perfection. The movie itself isn't perfect, though - to me, occasional plot holes made it more confusing than "Inception," and the idea of a Cold War carry-over in this day and age is somewhat laughable. Still, the movie plays its thrills right, and character of Salt fulfills what she was written to be - a bona fide action star.… Expand

Sadly as it was with Tomb Raider her looks alone could not do the trick. Instead the close shots of her seemed patronizing with respect to her cardboard acting. Everyone in this film was cut in 2D and I found very little engagement. That's just the acting, the plot and action sequences I thought were even worse. Don't get me wrong, I love suspending my reality for a few hours, but this is best done when they have engaged me in a story where the people's emotions are related to the protagonist's plight. I can turn my brain off like the rest of them and watch a summer popcorn flick and have very little standards in this regards. That said Salt did not even make that mark.

I suspect the studio are angling to start this into a franchise ala the Bourne films. Its a predictable money angle based on Jolie's good name (for now). Be warned.… Expand

All of the attributes necessary for a great conspiracy film - convincing storyline, protagonist with whom to strongly identify, technically amazing yet believable plotting, and energizing action - is missing in this film. Weak characterization, a failure to convincingly make the plot believable, and kind of soulless action in a lot of places. I had to really concentrate to stay engaged, but never was able to. The movie simply doesn't lift the viewer up into the action and story, and I think it is because the nature of the story - an implausible cold war/terrorist cell strategy to destroy the US - isn't all that great. Plus, the movie feels like an origin story - we are basically given a story that will justify 2 more movies later. We learn why Angelina Jolie will ultimately work alone, why she cannot trust anyone except one person in government, and so on. In that sense, maybe the payoff will come in later installments, but this one was a disappointment.

What keeps the movie from being a total failure is the brilliant casting. Angelina Jolie, despite looking like thin and emaciated to the point that it harms the story's concept, is perfect. She is beautiful, as always, and has a slightly more Eastern European vibe that is hard to pinpoint but which was great. Her fighting choreographer appears to have made the conscious choice to compensate for her thin frame by having her use objects and closed in spaces to her advantage. Several times she can be seen pushing off from walls before kicking or fighting someone to gain more force, presumably, and in that sense the movie improves upon what would otherwise have been asking too much suspension of disbelief. When you see her leap from a wall into a guard, knocking him unconscious, somehow it seems possible - particularly if you're like me and really don't know much about martial arts and fighting. Liev Schreiber, though, was fantastic. The way he stares at someone is creepy. He also seems like a big man - tall and muscular - which fits his role here as a CIA agent perfectly. He is quiet and reserved in his scenes, but still brings intensity to the action, such as in chase scenes where he comes across as deliberate and calculating. All of the actors are, in fact, fantastic in this film, and if not for them and the direction, the film would be a total mess. But because of them, it lifts it up to what I generously score a 5. For me a 5, in this genre, means that if you are on business travel in your hotel room, and it's late, and the movie comes on, then you should watch it.… Expand

With all due respect to James Bond, Evelyn Salt(Angelina Jolie) does it better, at least since, incidentally, Lewis Gilbert's "The Spy Who Loved Me", made in 1977, when the Cold War was still cold; when the Russians, by far, made the With all due respect to James Bond, Evelyn Salt(Angelina Jolie) does it better, at least since, incidentally, Lewis Gilbert's "The Spy Who Loved Me", made in 1977, when the Cold War was still cold; when the Russians, by far, made the best villains. For those who can remember, "Salt" makes you nostalgic for the days when the ABC telefilm "The Day After" scared you silly. The "evil empire"(Ronald Reagan's words) was good for the action-thriller genre. Islamic fundamentalism? Not so much. The Arabic language, and more importantly, the Arabic accent, have little or no entertainment value, no camp kick(i.e. Nazi Germany), at all. That's why Jonathan Demme's retooling of John Frankenheimer's "The Manchurian Candidate" will never work on the level of escapism, even if the United States someday makes peace with the Muslim world. Russians are more fun: that's the masterstroke of "Salt". The Russians still have active sleeper agents; the Russians still hate our guts(who knew?), a whopping nineteen years after the Soviet Union dissolved following the signing of the Belavezha Accords. For clarity's sake, the expository scenes that show the Russian children's training could have been more explicit in naming names. "Salt" never makes mention of that magic acronym(the U.S.S.R.), even though Orlov(Daniel Olbrychski) is a communist hardliner who still pledges allegiance to the hammer and sickle. The old school commie, a colleague of Brezhnev, is no doubt bitter about losing the Cold War, so "Salt" should have followed through with its bizarre retro choice in antagonists and made "Day X" less convoluted day of reckoning against the United States by being more pointed in their motivation. This splinter group, who as children resented Mikahl Gorbachev's employment of Glasnost to draw back the Iron Curtain, hates Americans every bit as much as the Muslims. That's the note that the filmmaker should have expounded on. Lest we forget, as an afterthought, "Salt" makes room for our current enemy when the final stage of "Day X" is revealed; that's when "Salt" becomes certifiably loony. But then, Jolie, in a scene reminiscent of Jack Ruby gunning down Lee Harvey Oswald in cold blood on live TV, reins in the overplotting with the sheer force of her presence, proving that it's she, and not Bond, or Bourne, who is the best. (Apologies to Carly Simon.) "Salt" is an inspired popcorn flick.… Expand

One of the stupidest movies I've seen in quite a while. Unbelievable that Ms. Salt jumps from truck to truck, gets beat up, fights and kills so many people with nary a scratch on her. But the Brangeloonies will come.

Just a little bit better than average. Not as good of a project for Jolie' she kicks butt, but without joy and fun. Too bad.

One of the stupidest movies I've recently seen. Completely and totally implausible and how did the frail Salt jump from truck to truck yadda yadda without barely a scratch? Idiotic. Thank God Inception ruled again at the BO.

This movie was pretty terrible because of the poor directing, emotionless script and lack of logic. There's too many quick camera cuts to make the movie feel somewhat believable but it fails. The Batman and Bourne movies made more sense This movie was pretty terrible because of the poor directing, emotionless script and lack of logic. There's too many quick camera cuts to make the movie feel somewhat believable but it fails. The Batman and Bourne movies made more sense because they were well directed. This movie just made me go WTF a bunch of times then I left the movie feeling really disappointed. Seriously, the this is direct to DVD quality action stuff and don't see this movie. Only people with no taste will enjoy this.… Expand

If you don't like this film, I guess you don't like spy stories or action movies. This is a great one. As for all the supposed holes in the plot, there are no more than one would find in any film about a diabolical plot to conquer If you don't like this film, I guess you don't like spy stories or action movies. This is a great one. As for all the supposed holes in the plot, there are no more than one would find in any film about a diabolical plot to conquer the world. Despite how unlikely the scenario might be, it all makes sense on its own terms. Roger Ebert has it right. This is a a don't miss thriller.… Expand

To those critics who say this movie isn't believable, I have one thing to say: Duh! When was the last time that you saw an action movie that was actually believable, if you wanted to look at it that way, or if you really thought about To those critics who say this movie isn't believable, I have one thing to say: Duh! When was the last time that you saw an action movie that was actually believable, if you wanted to look at it that way, or if you really thought about it? Action movies are famous for people surviving things that in real life would have them splattered all over. /rant. So, what is this movie? It's a he-- of a good time is what it is! I was continually having fun watching and wondering, what on earth is she going to do NEXT? And whatever I imagined was invariably topped by what happened in the movie. Invariably. It was amazing to watch, all of the acting was good, what more do you want from a movie like this?… Expand

Another stupid action movie that is not believable in the least! At least with Bourne Movies you can somewhat say, yeah, that can happen. This, it is absurd!!

Angelina is a goddess. Undisputed queen of action. Salt is an absolute adrenaline rush.

Non-stop action, good twists, and Angelina Jolie. What more could you want. The action was great, plot was average/above average, and their can be potential sequels. If the director just touches up on a few things, this could be the next Non-stop action, good twists, and Angelina Jolie. What more could you want.
