Movie Review: Salt

Russia and America are at it again, on the brink of war pushed to the limit by espionage, spies, and double spies. Interestingly timed with the recent Russian spy scandal, one wonders whether this was just coincidence... or...

Anywayz, Angelina Jolie is simply superb in the role of Salt, a CIA agent, who is called in to interrogate a Russian "defector", who exposes a plot to kill the Russian President at the funeral of the American Vice President in NYC. She scoffs at his information, and is about to walk out, when he names the would-be assassin. Salt.

The plot thickens with every minute, and Angelina outperforms herself in every scene. The action is fast paced with stunning screenplay and the story keeps you guessing till the very end.

A very good action movie, in the same league as A Team, Knight and Day and Inception. A very good option this weekend, don't miss it.
