Salt Review
Angelina Jolie plays Salt, a CIA agent accused of being a Russian Spy planning to assassinate the Russian president in order to create a nuclear war. Just whose side she’s on is the mystery that unfolds throughout the duration of the film. Even though we follow Salt throughout the entire film, we never really bond with the character. Of course, this is a clear decision by director Phillip Noyce to make sure that the viewer does not expect the twists and turns of the plot but as the film follows the conventions of the genre pretty rigidly and predictably, you end up feeling that the character is simply distant and you can’t care much what her motivations are as a result.
