Above average spy-thriller, but only just and only because of Angelina Jolie. She's not the greatest actress in the world, but she knows how to be badass. Salt is pretty predictable, and the twists are not really imaginative. Look elsewhere if you want something to stretch your mind with. It's entertaining enough but gets decidedly more boring on the second rewatch...

This is such a bad movie. If Angelina would fight for food it would make more sense... Maybe this would have been a good movie with another actress.

I fucking love Salt. Objectively, it’s not a jaw dropping movie, but really when are spy thriller movies ever? This is the spiritual predecessor to Atomic Blonde and it got a lot less attention than Atomic Blonde did, because perhaps it was ahead of its time. It’s a lot less stylish, sexy and slick as Atomic Blonde, while Salt is more Bourne-esque in style and tone. Does this movie pass the Bechdel test? Probably not, but that’s okay because it features Angelina Jolie being the absolute badass that she is in taking control of her own fate and subverting the dictatorial powers that seek to control her. While this probably isn’t the best movie considering the current political atmosphere, it’s still a fantastic spy movie and a great action role for Angelina Jolie. Evelyn Salt is unrelenting and unforgiving and I really freaking love her. It’s so satisfying to see a female spy know exactly what she’s doing and there is no exposition or explaining of why she’s doing the things she’s doing. I wish we would get a Salt 2, but it’s been 8 years now and so unfortunately it probably will never happen.

Good action-thriller. Well worth the watch.

This is an ok movie. Not close to Jason Bourne but enjoyable with an easily followed plot. Give it a try if you like spy thrillers and need a little less intensity than the Bourne series.
