Rating: 4/10 (25 January 2011)

Stoopid, old-fashioned, but mostly very derivative. Jolie's character starts as a captive of the North Koreans (just like James Bond in Die Another Day) and is tortured (just like...) but is quickly exchanged (just like... well you get the idea).
Finding she's a mole, probably, she goes on the run from her operator (just like the Geena Davis character in The Long Kiss Goodnight) and changes her hair colour (just like...well you get the idea).
The North Koreans aren't the enemy though, it's some Russians left over from the Cold War (as if they would care any longer). The drivel about Salt knowing how to get into secret nuclear bunkers barely deserves mention.
Left wide open for a sequel, I confidently predict that Angelina Jolie won't be in it. Who knows why she decided to be in this one.
