Who is Salt? Better find out Quickly

Rating: 9/10 (30 July 2010)

"Salt" is an action thriller about a CIA officer named Evelyn Salt. After trying to interrogate a captured Russian person, she is then accused of being a Russian sleeper agent lurking in the U.S. With no other choice, Salt goes on the run to clear her name and so the question remains: "Who is Salt?" From the trailer, I thought it was so thrilling. I know, many trailers these days are thrilling even though the original film is horrible. But, it also looks interesting and I think "Salt" is an amazing action film that will blow your minds up.
Although you might have some thoughts about the question or the tag line it self, the movie has many surprises than what you expect from the trailer. Maybe you expect this to be good but in the movie, he's bad. Some things like that. I'll tell you a tip, the main antagonist I may say is almost nothing what you expect from the trailer.
The acting was perfect. Angelina Jolie acted Evelyn Salt like she was really Salt. It was mesmerizing. I loved her acting. No problem with the acting. Liev Schreiber as Ted Winter is a good friend of Salt. Schreiber who was Sabretooth last year was great now. He looked really confident and was really in depth in his acting. The other minors are also memorable. The acting was in a word ... amazing.
The cinematography was brilliant. The action scenes were perfectly directed at any aspect of mine. The director, Phillip Noyce tried to make every scene enjoyable and the climax of the movie at maximum level. Of course, he needed the help of the music from James Newton Howard to increase the excitement of the film. The others like the special effects were simply perfect.
If you know the plot from what you get from the Internet, that is barely telling you any part of the story. That is just the beginning of the story, not even a single secret out. So, I guarantee that when you watch this brilliant thriller on the big screen, you'll get surprised.
To wrap this up, "Salt" is absolutely a rare thriller you might find these days besides "Inception" which was also a masterpiece. I recommend this to action lovers, people who love surprises as this movie provides many plot twists and of course, fans of Angelina Jolie when she's in action. I give this movie a rating of 9 out of 10 and of course, thanks for reading my review. Hope you find my review useful.
