Plot Summary
Angelina Jolie stars in Columbia Pictures' Salt, a contemporary espionage thriller. Before becoming a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt (Jolie) swore an oath to duty, honor, and country. She will prove loyal to these when a defector accuses her of being a Russian sleeper spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture, protect her husband, and stay one step ahead of her colleagues at the CIA.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: What's most impressive about Salt (aside from Jolie's committed performance) is the film's relentless pace. I can't remember the last action film so devoted to being all action, all the time. Frankly, it's a little exhausting.
Fresh: Daft, but entertaining enough while it lasts, and it's oddly fun to see that venerable villainess, the Cold War, showing the young upstarts how it's done.
Rotten: Can an action film have too much action? It sounds unlikely, like a cheese being too cheesy, but here's Salt to show us different.
Fresh: Why it should be so damn satisfying for women like me to watch these heroines kicking men around is another question. We'd surely be appalled by the reverse. Just call it a guilty pleasure.
Customer Reviews
Not the same movie
The original movie is better. The extended version doesn’t do justice to the movie, changing the ending as well as key parts that help define the Salt character. Waste of effort and waste of money. The basic version is better.
Fun and engaging
Enjoyable.
This is better than the theatrical version and the director's cut version
This movie has 3 different versions and I think this one is the best of all 3 because with the director's cut and the theatrical versions it was all the same ending with a couple distinct differences. But they both have you wonder whether or not there will be a sequel to this movie but this version pretty much sums up why there isn't gonna be one which makes it the best version of the 3.
