Review of Salt - 2010.

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2010)

Salt, like many reviewers have commented, is fast paced, full of action, and without much plot. The film immediately starts of with a Russian exchange of prisoners, after Salt is captured for being a spy for the Americans. After a brief scene in which Orslov is interrogated, the movie subsequently explodes, as Salt tries to escape the building and the ensuing car chase, the first of a chain of twists that keep this movie flowing.
Salt is rated M (PG-13) for violence. The film contains a lot of action scenes, but also some very violent scenes in which a man is constricted with a chain, another man is killed with a broken bottle - apart from the violence, the film doesn't have much profanity or any indecent. I found the movie, Salt, interesting and entertaining to watch, let down by an ending that was placed because of time constraints or the possibility of a sequel.
Overall, the highlights of this film include decent action scenes, and a nice accompanying score. This movie is great for entertainment, however the plot is a little shallow. Salt features enough twists to keep the movie flowing at a entertainingly fast pace. 7/10.
*On the complaints because of the interpretation of Russia - this film is purely fictional! I think everyone knows that this is a typical interpretation of the 'spy country' in the movies, and it's obviously a false depiction.
