Kurt Wimmer twisting, less conventional titillating screenplay

Rating: Null/10 (6 September 2010)

CIA agent Evelyn Salt is accused of being a Russian sleeper agent which sends her on the run as she tries to clear her name.
Salt directed by Phillip Noyce is a surprisingly intriguing thriller action, which holds the viewer from start to finish.
Salt's strength is underrated director and writer Kurt Wimmer twisting, less conventional titillating screenplay. Chiwetel Ejiofor performance stands out, however, the great shifty Liev Schreiber is becoming boarder-line type cast. Angelina Jolie (Evelyn Salt) top form as a CIA agent goes on the run after a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. What follows in a high-octane series of action packed chases and fight scenes with double agents, assassins and conspiracies.
Overall Salt exceeds expectations and while debatably not as sleek, grounded or well directed as the recent Bond film or Bourne series it's still an entertaining ride.
