Angelica's star vehicle

Rating: 7/10 (7 August 2010)

Angelina proves once again she can kick ass and looking great doing it. The plot kicks off almost immediately and leaves little to the imagination, save for the word of a Russian outcast and the subsequent knee-jerk reaction from Salt and the US government.
After that, we're led on some really defy-defying chases through highways and rooftops. Jolie's character is so complex it does truly live up to the tagline floating around for months. The twists and re-twists are interesting to say the least, along there is sometimes a case of one too many, but the cast makes it work. The two supporting members, Ejofor and Schreiber, are very good at playing the eccentric and the straight and narrow, respectively. The direction is fine, as it moves at a brisk pace while sprinkling more facts and secrets while unraveling Salt's past. Overall, this is a good vehicle for Jolie and she makes the most of it.
BTW, what's up with giving the (mostly good) Andre Braugher like 2 lines? He must've really need a paycheck.
