Liev Schreiber, Daniel Olbrychski, August Diehl and Chiwetel Ejiofor co-star.It was written by Kurt Wimmer and directed by Phillip Noyce.
As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues.
It was good that Angelina Jolie gives it her all in the title role.Her seasoned performance is almost enough to save Salt from its predictable and ludicrous plot.Also,the movie is implausible and lightweight as many elements in the story were simply too good to be true.
