Who is Salt?

Rating: 6/10 (15 August 2010)

My Score: 6.0/10 Who is Salt? Being attracted by this tag line and Angelina Jolie, I had a go for this movie with my friends.
"Salt" was directed by Phillip Noyce, the director who cooperated with Angelina Jolie and Denzel Washington in "The Bone Collector". This movie was about a spy war between USA and Russia, and a CIA agent Evelyn Salt (starred by Angelina Jolie) held a key role behind a mysterious plot called "Day-X", which involved assassination of the Russia President during his visit to the States. During an incident, Salt was being accused as a double agent, so she needed to flee in order to find out the truth as well as look for her missing husband.
As a spy movie, audience may expect to watch some "Bourne-series" action. However I would say, this movie does not deliver successfully in a way it may want it to be. The plot was obvious right in the beginning so my friends and I quickly knew who was the biggest bad guy at the end, and to our disappointment we were right. The twists in the movie were easily expected so that didn't create many surprises. The dialogues were rather cliché and... some parts just do not make any sense.
The plus sides of the movie would be the well-designed action scenes and Angelina herself. It was enjoyable watching these two elements. Entertaining overall but don't expect to watch a very intelligent spy war in this movie.
