pleasantly surprised

Rating: 8/10 (24 July 2010)

I went into salt with extremely low expectations (mainly because Jolie was cast as the main character and I've never been much of a fan of hers) but the story line had enough twists to keep me engaged the entire time.
The acting is mediocre and some of the characters who seem like they should have had a larger part in the film are killed off at what seems to be too early. Yet even with these flaws the story is entertaining enough to be worth the $7.50 i paid to get in.
Now by all means this movie isn't GREAT as by my standards a 8/10 is easy to come by, but its still entertaining and worth the watch.
