Fairly good, but not as good as I had expected

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2011)

Salt was a fairly decent Action film. Another one of those films where somebody has been set-up for a crime that they supposedly didn't commit. Salt got off to a good start when Evelyn Salt, and her CIA colleagues that she is a Russian spy and is going to be assassinating the president of Russia that afternoon, at the funeral of the Vice-President of The United States. When it some form of truth detector says that he is telling the truth the CIA workers get nervous. Then Salt escapes and the action kicks in! Salt was filled with many surprises, and kept me guessing until the end. There were some holes in the plot line which should have been filled and by the end of the film there were a few questions I had that were unanswered, as well as the ending, where it was very intense and I was wondering, "what is going to happen?", and then all of a sudden then credits were rolling and I was left very confused. But I have heard that there is a planned sequel that is to be released in 2014 which I will definitely be going to see. In the end Salt was an entertaining action flick, with some excellent, interesting ideas, but it didn't end up going where it wanted to. Rate: 7/10
