Salt is much better than I thought it'd be. I recommend it.

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2010)

The aspect that really made this movie work is the obvious love she has for her husband. By the time you finish watching the movie and finally know what was going on, to watch it again is to have an even greater appreciation for events and why Salt does what she does - then you start to realize how decent and well planned out the film really is. Jolie's portrayal of Salt and her ultimate ambitions really nails it for me. I must say I couldn't figure out her true motives for quite some time - a testimony to the cleverness of the plot.
Granted some of the things she did in some of the action sequences were a little beyond humanly possible, but being a movie you really don't mind. And quite frankly, this is becoming more the norm on action movies these days. But in spite of this she had a very human and vulnerable side which was a nice touch - especially when on the run.
And for those who are complaining about inaccuracy of Russia and Russians in this movie: it's a movie, not a documentary. This is a filmmaker's version of a fictional Russia and a fictional America. How easily some were able to do what they did on the American side could also annoy people who are looking at it as if it's a nonfictional documentary.
Schreiber was convincing in his role, as was Ejiofor. Even August Diehl as her husband worked very well IMO. Very enjoyable - one I will be watching again (and already have).
