Salt

This was a good fun enjoyable movie if pretty much forgettable.

Jolie puts in a very solid performance as a CIA agent Evelyn Salt, who throughout the film is questioned about wether she is on the good side (America) or the baddies (Russia). Cue lots of chasing around America in disguises with guns and high intensity stunts.

this film offers nothing new and is a re-hash of many other CIA films. The big unique selling point of this movie was that the lead was a female not a male, as you probably know tom cruise was widely reported to have turned down the role, liking it to be too close to Ethan Hunt, an observation i would be inclined to agree with, even down to the latex facial disguises. Jolie gives a great performance and looks stunning on screen, she certainly has a screen prescence, but unless you are a fanatical feminist then the fact that its a girl doesn't really matter, it doesn't make a difference.

so good clean fun, with a very watchable Jolie.
