Overview
As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who is Salt?"
The sad part about this film is that it had potential. The cast is great and I thought the premise was fantastic as well. The problem is that they tried to turn the main character (Angelina Jolie) and turn her into Jason Bourne. It didn’t need to be and it only took away from the plot.
