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.

Ange Anderson Bitch Media Director Phillip Noyce... keeps things moving with an engaging lead, well-timed action sequences, smart dialogue and characters whose motivations are well defined. Dec 30, 2020 Full Review Caryn James Newsday In the great tradition of summer popcorn hits, Angelina Jolie's action-spy thriller Salt is stupid but fun. Feb 7, 2018 Full Review Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Though the film and the script may have flaws, Jolie has none. Dec 27, 2010 Full Review Malinda Lo Malinda Lo I'm not saying that the movie is the best thing ever made for women... But I'll accept that, as a step toward evening the field for women in Hollywood. May 6, 2024 Full Review Ezequiel Boetti EscribiendoCine 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] Rated: 6/10 Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert 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 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

JC N A good movie, I watched it for 3 times. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Jason Lewis L Without a doubt the most unbelievable movie i have ever seen. I'd believe Avengers Endgame actually happened before Salt. Not only is Jolie the worst actress of all time she is by far the ugliest woman roaming the earth Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/25 Full Review Ralph R Salt is a fast-paced action thriller that hooks you right from the start and keeps the adrenaline pumping throughout. Angelina Jolie's performance is the movie's backbone, and she carries her role with a perfect mix of intensity and depth. The first act is particularly well-executed, setting the stage with solid pacing and smooth transitions that pull you into the story without feeling rushed. It's a film that thrives on its direction and character buildup, leaving you intrigued by the mystery surrounding Evelyn Salt. The action sequences are sharp and well-choreographed, with a sense of purpose that adds to the narrative rather than just filling space. However, the story, while engaging, has a predictable layer for anyone paying close attention to the details sprinkled throughout. It doesn't take away from the excitement entirely, but it does dampen some of the suspense if you're quick to pick up on the "tells." That said, the film's overall presentation, from its tight pacing to its polished visuals, makes it an enjoyable watch. What stands out less favorably is the lack of closure in the final act. While the ending teases the possibility of more to come, it feels incomplete and leaves you wanting a resolution that never fully arrives. A sequel would have justified this approach, but leaving things open-ended without that guarantee feels like a missed opportunity. Still, Salt delivers solid entertainment, and Jolie's commanding presence makes it worth the ride, even if the destination doesn't fully satisfy. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/10/25 Full Review Isha B Comedy Action Comedy Thriller Comedy Drama and Comedy Crime Romantic Comedy Funny Mission: Impossible Parody Wrestling Movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/24 Full Review Jerrod G Definitely badass action, very little story play but it's there. Maybe remove the intro and add more of an ending. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Carlos T Filme: SALT Assistido: 18-11-24 Elenco: @angelinajolie @lievschreiber @chiwetejiofor_ Daniel Olbrychski Modelo: #ação #espionagem Duração: 1h 44m Ano: 2010 Minha opinião: O filme mais violento de Jolie e o mais com ação do ínicio ao fim. Temos outros Tomb Rider, Sr. e Sra. Smith, O Procurado, O Turista, mas nenhum se compara a SALT. Uma estória já conhecida de crianças recrutadas e utilizadas quando crescem se infiltram na sociedade e órgãos específicos do governo. Uma técnica usada pelos russos e infiltranco nos EUA. E com Oleg se entregando a CIA para ativar a missão de matar o presidente russo e americano e iniciar a 3ª guerra. Uma estoria já bastante batida. Mas a única coisa que não contavam é Evelyn (Jolie) esta casada e ainda matam o seu marido, então desperta uma fera indomada atrás de vingança. Onde luta para acabar com os russos e e ainda policia, CIA e mais a guarda do presidente. E invadir a Casa Branca. È claro que cheio de exageros, mas temos que engolir e ver Jolie em ação e com muita ação. Mas a acena final onde ela mata Ted é fantástico. Roteiro e enredo talvez um pouco exagerado mas com muita ação, bem elaboradas e bem construídas. Vale apena assistir? Sim para quem ama muita ação e Jolie. Nota: 8 por ser o filme de maior ação de Jolie e agora acho difícil ver novamente ela assim. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
