Salt****

Who is Evelyn Salt? Well I'm not going to tell you that silly, go and see it for yourself!

All I will tell you is that she is a very successful CIA agent who decides to run from her work when someone who is brought in accuses her of being a Russian spy. Director Phillip Noyce has done a wonderful job on what is another action packed blockbuster this summer. He is more involved in TV series' than films, but nevertheless, he has portrayed Angelina Jolie as more mysterious than ever, and the film definitely reflects that Jolie has still got it as an actress.

Angelina Jolie has performed in a variety of films since her Tomb Raider days, such as Wanted (2008) and Changeling (2008) but she still has the same sexiness about her as an action woman. The truth is, action films fit Jolie like a glove, and she's always suited the role. The trailer asks us "who is Salt?" but reluctantly, we don't find out until the very end, and even then we are left at an open ending which leaves the possibility of a sequel.

The film itself is full of twists and surprises, it will make you heart skip a beat as something that should have been quite obvious is made truly complex to the audience's eye. The amount of action never falters, there is barely a moments peace, keeping the audience tense. It even throws us into the action at the very beginning with Salt being tortured, which is what makes this film very different to Knight and Day, in that Jolie isn't afraid to get beaten about a little by the boys, whereas Diaz found her skills to fire a gun out of nowhere.

The stunts, explosions, and chases are still easy on the eyes, and brain, unlike Inception, but that doesn't make the mystery of Salt any easier. You would think it would be two hours of the CIA chasing Angelina, but it's not. She toughens up, and despite being seen as the bad girl, she's actually seeking to get revenge. She becomes the woman we all want to be, strong and independent, elegant yet dangerous.

With some familiar faces on the block, such as Liev Schreiber (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) playing Salt's boss Ted Winter, and Chiwetel Ejiofor (Inside Man) taking up another detective-type roll, this action movie can be right up anyone's street. You think you'll know what's going to happen next, but you'll most likely be wrong. I would definitely see it again.
