Fanaticalaboutfilms Review: Salt

Rating: 6/10 (10 January 2011)

Sitting down to watch Salt I was armed with the knowledge that it was an action movie and nothing more. And to that extent it did not disappoint. The plot flows well and unlike some action movies there is a story around which the action is based. It keeps you guessing as to what might be happening next but is also not hard to follow.
Granted there are a few loopholes large enough to drive one of the many trucks that Jolie has a knack for jumping acrobatically onto through, sure the movie fulfils its quota for stereotypical Russians with coats, hats and vodka to boot and the character development is hardly going to blow you away but when I sat down I was not expecting the greatest action movie ever made just a good one.
If you have a spare 100 minutes knocking about and are looking for something to entertain you then put this on, take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy.
