Salt: A salty affair.
With “Inception” still fresh in everyone’s mind, you really need something nifty to keep the viewer’s mind occupied. Well, this Angelina Jolie starrer falls way short of audience expectation despite of some good action sequences and Angelina Jolie.
Tom Cruise was the first choice for this action thriller, but then the script was modified and offered to Angelina Jolie after Cruise opted out.
Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy. She rubbishes this accusation but her bosses do not seem to believe her. Soon, you find Jolie on the run, jumping over trucks, dodging bullets, doing mostly everything to escape.
“Salt” is merely engaging and least thrilling, thanks to a senseless screenplay and some over the top scenes. If it weren’t for some good action and Jolie, this would have been an unwatchable film.
I’m going with a generous two out of five for this salty action flick, hope it’s much talked about sequel has the salt in proportion.
Rating: 2/5
