Fast paced combination of wit, action and suspense. Don't miss it!

Rating: 9/10 (23 July 2010)

Let me first say that this movie isn't Inception. It's not overly deep or complicated. But Salt is still a great movie.
You can read the synopsis above, so I'm not going to waste time summarizing it.
Salt is a fast paced action thriller that keeps you guessing until the very end. Angelina Jolie delivers a fantastic role- leaving no doubt as to why she's made it to the top of Hollywood's actresses. She has a phenomenal presence on screen that keeps the movie intact and makes the twisted plot flow with ease. Liev Schreiber also delivers a great performance, though it's hard to get past his roles in Defiance and X- Men Origins: Wolverine.
There are plenty of twists, turns, car chases, crashes, blow up scenes, jumps, gun fire, and hands on fights to satisfy even the most dedicated action fans. The cinematic elements are great, the music is fitting, the scenes are well directed, the transitions aren't annoying, the plot flows well, the writing isn't overly corny, and the actors (primarily Angelina and Liev) are probably the best asset.
This movie gives you a total adrenaline rush, too. You get enveloped into the plot and the characters in a way that makes every scene exciting. It definitely keeps you guessing, despite the reveal in the trailer.
Overall, it's a great every day movie, and definitely one that I will buy for a few watches when it comes out on DVD and BluRay. Though it's not perfect (I didn't give it full stars because of a mistake in casting Hunt Block for the President's character, one poorly crafted special effects elevator scene, and a lack of proper costume design in the latter end of the movie that distracts from Angelina looking as fabulous as always), it's still great fun.
Don't miss it!
