Good thriller but lacks action

Rating: 5/10 (21 July 2010)

Salt is thriller/action movie with a lot of twists and turns. Jolie plays an agent that seemingly was setup by her adoptive country. This movie definitely keeps you guessing up until the very end. The storyline is interesting and the acting is acceptable. Liev Schreiber does great along side Jolie. Chiwetel Ejiofor did fine but seemed to overact at times. He needs to show balance as he did in "talk to me". The movie has its dramatic moments but it failed at making the action scenes believable. Watching Jolie jump from semi to semi on a highway, slide down elevator shafts with ease and watch her beat up and push grown men aside like toys is just ridiculous. This is a thriller/action movie not a scifi superhero flick. But other than that is was a good movie. I recommend waitting for it on DVD rather then see it in the movies.
