Salt is a film that is almost entirely action based. As action-packed and entertaining as Salt is, it's fairly forgettable after it ends. It won't stay with you, as the characters give you practically no reason to care about them. It's basically just a film to watch to give you some cheap thrills in the moment, and is also one you'll forget about a few minutes later. It isn't bad, just not all that impressive, and not memorable in the least.

This movie made me feel like I un-learned my degree. It gives the audience absolutely no credit by telling a story that fundamentally does not make any sense. The characters are unlikable, relationships and motives are unbelievable; many characters are seemingly added only to tie up loose ends and offer no value to the overall story. Save your money on this and go see Inception again.

Yeah it's fucking stupid, predictable/cliched, and arguably misogynistic in how it exploits Jolie's sex appeal (tied down half naked, stripping off her panties to cover a security camera). But then you have to ask yourself how seriously you want to judge a film where a cop is tasered literally thirty or so times into reflexively flooring his cruiser through and around a police barricade. Utterly mindless garbage.

Aims for Bourne but ends up as an abbreviated 24 storyline with less torture. Plot wise it's thin at best, invoking the usual "spy on the run"/"evil scheming ruskies" clichés, with only a few real surprises along the way. Jolie, for her part, does a great job as tough heroine, although her "blond hair = innocent/on the run - Black hair = superspy!" persona makeover was unintentionally funny.

Salt is basically a Jason Bourne film mashed together with the bizarre over-paranoia of Red Dawn, especially when you consider the cold war is over. Even so Salt offers some limited entertainment for someone that still finds enjoyment in twists they couldn't see because they're outright ludicrous. But hey, at least Chiwetel Ejiofor is getting in some blockbusters.

On the brighter side, if you are watching this movie as another lame ass action movie then you are wrong. On the other hand, if you think this is an excellent film with some really clever twists, then you are wrong again. Salt is a film which tries to pretend to be something very very far away from a no-brainer but fails miserably due to lack of proper execution.

Yeah ok so this has more bogus twists than you can shake a stick at but Jolie is likable in this type of totally bullshit role. It takes the concept of Manchurian Candidate and combines it with Jason Bourne. The action is alright as long as you don't think too hard about it. There's some moments where you just have to laugh at the cartoon like action. The kickass action femme is a bit overdone now in 2010. No one believes model thin Jolie could take a punch or knockout any guy.

Pathetic action. Pathetic script. Never worked for me. Hilarious, though, that it doesn't hesitate to draw all the conflicts of the world into the plot, even when it's already way too far out. But seriously, it's probably the worst film I've seen with Liev Schreiber, and I've seen a couple (The Omen (remake) just to name one). Another 80 kr. thrown out the window for me. I should feel ashamed.

Impressive, albeit ridiculous, stunts and Jolie is hot, but the double agent theme is never really fully explored, Andre Braugher is completely wasted (does he even have a line?) and - worst of all - the narrative twists can be spotted a mile away. So all in all. Watchable. Just.

"Salt" is a film that thinks it is much clever than it actually is. The "twists" are so obvious, so dull and presented so poorly. The fact the film relies entirely on these twists doesn't help it much. Jolie performs well and is hot, but that doesn't help much either.

I actually love the concept - a Russian version of America's Bourne - but I think the execution was off. I think twists were misplaced, and it spent time building up the sequel (which might not even happen) when it should have been trying to give a good conclusion. Jolie performs well, though.

There's a weird shift in tone - it starts as a promising thriller but then gets sillier until we've got a superspy flick where the heroine stops Ruskies destroying America. Jolie is badly miscast for the promising thriller first part of the movie (her face is just too beautifully sculpted to take seriously in a serious film) but perfectly cast for the silly superspy thing - Tombraider already proved she can do "Hot crazy psycho bitch" really well. It's best viewed as "Tombraider with Spies".

It's like watching the Bourne movies with a woman as the lead and a non-shaky cam for the action scenes. It's not great, but it's not awful either. It gets a little twisty towards the end, which would be fine except I preferred the pre-twist plot. The action scenes are pretty cool so it's not too bad in that sense. Plus, it's nice to see a female led action film, as it can be pretty rare. Not really as bad as everyone seems to be saying.

Jolie is good, but "Salt" borrows most of its ideas from other films. Watching the fight sequences is like watching a patchwork quilt of various action moments from a variety of recent action flicks. Where this film really stumbles is in plot & intelligence. Every time a twist comes it's been hinted at long before it finally arrives with some clues as subtle as a kick to the ballsack! Even worse is how implausibly stupid this movie depicts clandestine international relations. Fun, but dumb.

Totally weightless. Jolie simply doesn't have the physicality to be Bourne, just as Noyce doesn't have the intelligence to be Paul Greengrass. This movie exists solely to provide a familiarity with the character so they can quickly get into franchise mode with inevitable sequels and make some real money. This one really isn't even trying; we get the whole conspiracy laid preposterously bare immediately, and the allegedly transformative romance glossed over in a couple weak minutes of flashback.

I am starting to believe that Angelina Jolie is a curse on movies. I haven't seen anything she was in that I liked. Also, first she was in Tomb Raider, a blatant clone of Indiana Jones, and now this, an obvious duplicate of the Bourne films... Rip-off merchant? Anyway, boring, stupid, depressingly laughable film that me and everybody I saw it with disliked. I had low expectations and still came away disappointed.

Presumably, the story of Veruca Salt's much more athletic sister--and every bit as grounded in reality. Nothing is remotely plausible, especially the chase scenes. Ejiofor manages some egregious overacting, even when his lines consist of nothing but "There she is!" Liev Schreiber is smoking hot, though--this thing as almost worth watching for him alone.

Wimmer seems to think that keeping his protagonist's motives completely unclear for the majority of the movie will create intrigue and tension, but I just found it irritating and confusing. (She did all that for August Diehl? OK...) There's also a funny juxtaposition between the (well-directed) Bourne-esque action sequences and Jolie's scrawny frame and ungainly physical presence. All that carnage caused by an awkward waif who looks like a 12-year-old boy when she runs. I couldn't help but laugh

The career of the screenwriter of this absurd spy film stands as proof, were it needed, that ludicrousness is rewarded in Hollywood. Jolie is once again typecast as a superheroine with magical powers, which seems to be popular with audiences though rarely convincing to this viewer. Towards the end one character is revealed as having the name Tarkovsky: it is such a shame that the filmmaker did not live long enough to enjoy the bestowing of this honour.

While it does feature some neat stunts and action sequences (in the first half), Salt is ostensibly a vehicle for Angelina Jolie to go running around, beating up men and shooting some guns while looking smolderingly sexy in a very premeditated way. On that level, it succeeds, but beyond the cheap thrills Salt is nothing more than your average generic spy thriller, with a hokey plot that seems to rip off many other films, and also a predictably silly ending. Noyce can do better than this.

My endearing love for Angelina Jolie definitely clouds my judgment about how good this movie is. I enjoyed her entirely, thus the high score for a movie that clearly does not deserve as much praise.

Ludicrous, but no more so than Bond, Bourne, or MI. Still, these films require a lead that can convince you to suspend disbelief and Jolie doesn't have it. I've loved the kick-ass chick movie genre since seeing Cynthias Khan & Rothrock, Michelle Yeoh, Moon Lee, Brigitte Lin, and Yukari Oshima do their thing in HK 30+ years ago. They were badass. Jolie simply looks too fragile and sickly to buy into. Too bad Anna Chapman was busy. She would have been perfect. Salt's a crap title too.

Not sure why this film got some of the shade that it did. I think it was fairly enjoyable. The plot is a little convoluted, but this film had shades of Bourne and Olympus Has Fallen.

Salt is Angelina Jolie's character's last name; the Russians aren't trying to kill us all off by driving up our sodium intake - this is a very old school spy drama. In fact, with its whip-fast changes in directions - even the main character often seems to not be certain what side she is on - it almost seems like a Manchurian Candidate for the Call of Duty generation.

A spy movie that had a Manchurian Candidate feel to it. It wasn't nearly as good as the Manchurian Candidate but it was pretty entertaining. Jolie did a good job as she does in action films. Liev Schreiber was the real star in this though. I just thought he was awesome.
There were some really surprising moments and some really predictable ones too.
I did enjoy some of the intense action scenes. The first chase scene went on a little too long though. Looks like it might get a sequel.
