A salt

Salt (2010)

Phillip Noyce directs Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor in this spy thriller. After being released from a North Korean prison the question is raised, is a female CIA agent really a Russian sleeper agent?

You can pretty much throw the plot for this film away from the get go, it is completely ridiculous, at least thirty years too late, full of holes and the characters are not especially engaging. What the film hopes to survive on is the action sequences which are unremarkable and unoriginal at best. The direction is also average at best and adds very little to the action. Angelina Jolie does the run around action heroine thing well enough but that is about the best you can say about this film.

2/5 high budget, low content.
