The Cold War: Part Deux

Rating: 7/10 (24 September 2010)

I really don't believe one should look for logic or credibility in SALT, a film with an incredible pace and with enough twists and turns to easily screw the viewer's mind off, but luckily and successfully I kept attached to the whirling scenes of gunfire, car chases, explosions and gung-ho fighting. Angelina Jolie plays a straight-faced, ice-cold, uber- professional secret agent who's a wild horse struck by accusations of being a Russian mole - which she is. Or is she? Whatever you may crave from this one the film seems to take an alternate turn on the dramatics, and although there are clichés that comes on a string, it didn't tire me out because I knew that the film would just as soon as being knocked down, rise to its feet and continue relentlessly. Many people find mindless action-thrillers to be stupid, but one can't claim so when the film seems fully aware of being so itself.
