Nice action scenes

Rating: 8/10 (12 August 2014)

The movie was really enjoyable. I confess I am a huge action fan, so SALT really ticked quite a few boxes for me. The action scenes and stunts are beautifully crafted, and it was even better that most of the stunts were actually performed live, giving a sense of improved realism to the movie.
However, what wasn't so good was that the plot for the movie was not exactly satisfactory. I won't give any spoilers here, but the general plot is that CIA agent Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) goes on the run after being incriminated as a Russian spy. The entire plot, however, did have quite a few holes, and sometimes does require suspension of disbelief. Angelina Jolie's acting was very good, and it pulled the entire movie up. The performances by the supporting cast was also not bad.
I recommend the movie, as though it may not be the best in character development and the script, it does have many redeeming points, and is worth a watch if you happen to have an afternoon to spare.
