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.

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.

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.

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

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

Salt is a favorite of mine. Although the start is a bit slow and a little unentertaining, I find that the build up towards the end and not expecting what was to come was phenomenal. It was a huge jaw dropping moment. Lights, camera, action. Worth being praised!!
