3 star rating THE Screened Review by Alex Navarro

Who is Salt? Who cares! It's all about the action in this brainless bombshell of a spy thriller.

Phillip Noyce Director previously directed Catch a Fire

Salt is about CIA agent Evelyn Salt, played by Angelina Jolie, who's loyalty is questioned when a Russian informant identifies her as a double agent. Salt escapes and is on the run, all the while, its never clear where her loyalty lies.
Trivia:

The movie was originally scripted with a male lead and Tom Cruise was approached to play the title character. Ultimately, he backed out and the script was rewritten with a female lead and Angelina Jolie took the role.

Quote: Evelyn Salt

I'm not a goddamn Russian spy!
