Angelina Jolie has always made a kick-ass action star. She's very versatile in film and works with every genre. "Salt" is a fun, fast pace and bigger than life action movie. It's script is... very lacking. Honestly there are points that just seemed ridiculous. How come North Korean tortures will strip down Salt (character's last name of Jolie) to her underwear but stop there? Come on! Just don't show the nudity or give her a prison uniform. Then why is it a Russian spy who just surrendered to the CIA is not properly checked for weapons. If a TSA agent can find a knife in your shoe within 20 seconds of checking you, then can't the CIA. There's a lot of little things that can cause thinking to ruin the ride. However that's the solution, just don't analyze it and get lost in the fun. The action is cool and the story will keep you guessing until the end. You could have a female Bourne here, just get rid of the little stupid things that take you out of the moment. Jolie can be more badass then the majority then male action stars out there when she wants to be. "Salt" packs a punch and is worth the trip.
7/10
Recommendation: Just enjoy the ride, it's a fun movie.
