Kick-ass movie

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2010)

I can't see why people are complaining, it wasn't a bad movie at all. Angelina Jolie is one of the best, if not, the best female to play an action role! The plot was believable, considering the KGB, although, to the extreme. The film had some good twists, can we say 'double agent'?? There is a lot of action, tasteful, without all the blood and vulgarity. Could have done with more of a background to Leiv's character and Salt's spider loving husband but hey ho, we can't have everything.
I also like the fact that the ending was left like that, leaves a sequel open to the hopes of Jolie coming back in full swing! We've not had a good action sequel, since 'The Bourne' saga and I fully welcome a female version. And no, this role shouldn't have been 'male filled', lets get real folks, women have been plotted as double agents throughout history, it's good to see it coming about in films.
This film is a modern day Mata Hari and well worth the time to watch.
