Critics Consensus

Angelina Jolie gives it her all in the title role, and her seasoned performance is almost enough to save Salt from its predictable and ludicrous plot.

Absolute garbage. The individual actors did their best under the circumstances, but terrible script, plot, and action pieces.

This is an OK film. Angelina Jolie and Chiwetel Ejiofor give good performances, the rest of the cast feels weak imo. The plot is decent and there are quite a few twists that keep it interesting, however they are predictable. Overall, Salt is an average action film that will keep you mildly entertained but it doesn't do anything new or exciting to be memorable.

I watched Angelina Jolie as Evelyn Salt , why did I watch it? Angelina Jolie , yes Im a simp. So Salt, oh boy where do I begin! I will firstly point out the positives. The cinematography was pretty smooth, the stunts during the first 40 minutes were pretty terrifying. Moving on Angelina Jolie, oh lord! she looked so hot in the movie but I was disheartened by how she didn't have a lot to give to her character. Im glad the film was only 100 minutes long because if it wasn't it would've been unbearable. Moving on to the issues that I had with this film..so basically I just wanted to have fun and have a satisfying experience, but it was only the first 40 minutes that did that for me. As I was done with the film I was left really unsatisfied. After the so called twist I was really tired with the film, the director held the suspense in the beginning well but later it just got exhausting because the protagonist's motive was weird and it felt like they just wanted to make a film with Angelina Jolie just because they liked her. I wasn't rooting for her anymore after the twist and the director forces us to root for her but it just doesn't work. The same goes for the husband's character I couldn't care less about that man, I didn't care about his safety and felt bad for the actor because he could've done something more worth while instead of making this film. This film had alot of potential but instead just turned into a snooze fest for me and was really disappointed.

Director Phillip Noyce... keeps things moving with an engaging lead, well-timed action sequences, smart dialogue and characters whose motivations are well defined.

In the great tradition of summer popcorn hits, Angelina Jolie's action-spy thriller Salt is stupid but fun.

Though the film and the script may have flaws, Jolie has none.

Salt is to action movies what the Twilight trilogy and its sexual, anti-hemoglobin puritanism is to vampire stories. This ideological vehicle also has... a trite and well-known story, but narrated with solvency and agility. [Full review in Spanish]

Deep Focus Review

Spending 100 minutes with some well-constructed action will be enough for some viewers. But when the apparent potential for a clever spy thriller is passed up for a simple adrenaline rush, the result is a disappointment.

Rated: 2/4
