Salt
As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor, and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a Russian defector accuses her of being a Russian sleeper spy. She goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture, protect her husband, and stay one step ahead of her colleagues at the CIA. Her efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who is Salt?"
Critics Sentiment
Salt jumps between moving trucks on the freeway
Salt kills Tarkovsky and jumps into the Potomac River
The film drops significantly from the thrilling White House infiltration to the convoluted nuclear crisis, as reviewers found the plot becoming increasingly improbable.
Salt delivers strong action entertainment anchored by Angelina Jolie's commanding performance, with reviewers consistently praising the non-stop pace and well-choreographed sequences. However, the film suffers from an increasingly convoluted plot that becomes harder to follow and more improbable as it progresses. The ending particularly disappointed reviewers who found it incomplete and unsatisfying, though most agreed the film succeeds as solid popcorn entertainment.
