Salt

Salt is an action packed spy-thriller conjured up by talented writer Kurt Wimmer. It follows Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie), a CIA secret agent. She has been set up as a Russian spy by an unknown agitator. Desperate to find her husband, Salt is on a mission to secure her husband's safety. She is also on a mission to stop a Russian spy from killing the Russian presiden. This information is divulged by the same Russian suspect that matched her name as the name of the Russian spy on her/his way to kill the president of Russia in the first place. Make sense?

Salt is an action-packed thriller that is worth the cinema ticket and entertains to the end. While not packing as much tech savvy as the Bourne series, this script makes up for it in continuous twists. Salt could give jason Bourne a run for his money in the action stakes, however. (Note the scene where Jolie drives a police truck off a bridge to escape). Jolie is great, the stunts are great and fight scenes impressive. Four stars.
