DVD Release Date: December 21, 2010
The female version of Jason Bourne is upon us, and her name is Evelyn Salt… Or is it? ‘Salt’ is about a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy. We get to watch as she jumps, parkours and MacGyvers her way to clearing her name. Take a look at the trailer:
Angelina Jolie has picked up where she left off in ‘Wanted’ and ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ to bring us another larger then life action hero. The problem is that the film attempts to frame the story within the confines of “reality”. If you’re going to have someone jumping from truck to truck on a highway, you should probably be in the matrix.
That being said, I’m always up for a good ol’ one man (in this case woman) versus the world movie. Phillip Noyce does a good job shooting the action scenes, and the film has excellent pacing. Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor do a solid job in their supporting roles (as always), and Angelina Jolie is good at adding star power to the film.
The ending may be a bit disappointing to some, but the film is an hour and a half that flies by. If all you’re looking for is a fast paced action flick, ‘Salt’ won’t disappoint you.
Final Grade: C
