First great movie of the summer!

Rating: 9/10 (14 August 2010)

I loved this movie! I caught a DVD of one of Angelina's first movies, cyborg 2, and saw her do some brief action pieces. You see in Cyborg 2 a shimmer of the force of nature we have now. What a difference time makes! She is a veteran action star, and I can't think of another actor who has as much ability and talent and Ms. Jolie does. Within 25 minutes of the movie, we see her blow up a room full of guards, shimmy around a high story building, escape on a freeway by jumping onto motor vehicles, its breathtaking! The pace continues to a fever pitch, and you as a viewer can not help but feel a rush when Salt gets down to business. The plot involves a tale involving Russian sleeper agents, and had a few twists that took me and my guy by surprise. I really enjoyed the story and found myself gripping the seat for the next scene. Salt is a force to be reckoned with: she is resourceful and an intimidating threat, her fight scenes are just brutal. To think that Tom Cruise once was set to star in this movie is just unfathomable. For action fans, you can't do any better. Angelina delivers and proves that the action era once populated by men has come to a close. I gave this movie a healthy nine because I can't remember the last time I had that much fun at the movies! A definite recommend!
