Movie Salt Review


  Did not know what to expect when I saw the movie Salt.  Maybe it was the name of the movie? Unless you saw the trailer, you wouldn't know that it's supposed to be an action/thriller. When I was looking online, I read in an article somewhere that originally this role was written for Tom Cruise, who backed out, so they rewrote it as a female lead for Angelina Jolie.  How neat is that?  And to tell you the truth, after seeing this movie, she nailed the role.

  I love these kinds of movies.  Jolie plays a CIA opertaive named Evelyn Salt. When she is interviewing a walk-in, he claims that she is a Russian spy and that she is going to kill the Russian president. Salt is then proclaimed a fugitive when she runs, but from the beginning she proclaims her innocence..or is she??? Some have compared the movie to the Bourne Series. Salt is a good show, not great like the Bourne series, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching the movie with my friend. 7/10 stars
