When Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) became a CIA officer, she swore an oath to duty, honor and country. But, when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy, Salt's oath is put to the test. Now a fugitive, Salt must use every skill gained from years of training and experience to evade capture, but the more she tries to prove her innocence, the more guilty she seems.

Critics Consensus

Angelina Jolie gives it her all in the title role, and her seasoned performance is almost enough to save Salt from its predictable and ludicrous plot.

Director Phillip Noyce... keeps things moving with an engaging lead, well-timed action sequences, smart dialogue and characters whose motivations are well defined.

In the great tradition of summer popcorn hits, Angelina Jolie's action-spy thriller Salt is stupid but fun.

Though the film and the script may have flaws, Jolie has none.

I'm not saying that the movie is the best thing ever made for women... But I'll accept that, as a step toward evening the field for women in Hollywood.

Salt is to action movies what the Twilight trilogy and its sexual, anti-hemoglobin puritanism is to vampire stories. This ideological vehicle also has... a trite and well-known story, but narrated with solvency and agility. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 6/10

Deep Focus Review

Spending 100 minutes with some well-constructed action will be enough for some viewers. But when the apparent potential for a clever spy thriller is passed up for a simple adrenaline rush, the result is a disappointment.

Rated: 2/4

Well, nothing bad to say in general. But isn‘t the same concept over and over again boring like hell? Spy wins. Period. There should be more movies where the bomb flies. THEN you’d have new stuff to solve. The hero-wins-in-the-end story is like seeing the same movie over and over again.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Absolute garbage. The individual actors did their best under the circumstances, but terrible script, plot, and action pieces.

This is an OK film. Angelina Jolie and Chiwetel Ejiofor give good performances, the rest of the cast feels weak imo. The plot is decent and there are quite a few twists that keep it interesting, however they are predictable. Overall, Salt is an average action film that will keep you mildly entertained but it doesn't do anything new or exciting to be memorable.
