Salt is thriller/action movie with a lot of twists and turns. Jolie plays an agent that seemingly was setup by her adoptive country. This movie definitely keeps you guessing up until the very end. The storyline is interesting and the acting is acceptable. Liev Schreiber does great along side Jolie. Chiwetel Ejiofor did fine but seemed to overact at times. He needs to show balance as he did in "talk to me". The movie has its dramatic moments but it failed at making the action scenes believable. Watching Jolie jump from semi to semi on a highway, slide down elevator shafts with ease and watch her beat up and push grown men aside like toys is just ridiculous. This is a thriller/action movie not a scifi superhero flick. But other than that is was a good movie. I recommend waitting for it on DVD rather then see it in the movies.

Nic Cage is back and better then ever. Thanks to Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub. Movies like this don't require perfect acting. It only require great scenes that grab your attention. This movie does it and does it well. The storyline is unique..a young kid a nobody growing up to possess magical powers. The cast has great chemistry and character development. Not to mention the special effects are gold especially the last scene of infinite ryu like fireballs (street fighter). From beginning to end i was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what happens next. If you have some free time. I would definitely check out this movie.

Im going to be brief because bad movies like this don't deserve much. I didn't laugh much watching this movie. First scene when his wife walks in on him was slightly funny and the other scenes seem forced due to lack of material. The directing was OK. The camera shake, weak storyline, low budget, bad casting are to blame. Not to mention the whole "he took my shoes thing" was just stupid. The screen play appears to be written by someone in high school. It has no complexity and no character development. This is by far one of the worst movies I've seen so far. Do not see this movie, wait for it on DVD and only watch if you are extremely bored.
