Salt


Overlong, overblown and utterly forgettable Salt (2010) is a waste of the acting talent of Angelina Jolie (Check out Girl, Interrupted 1999, A Mighty Heart 2007 and Changeling 2008) she plays a character called Evelyn Salt who is accused of being a Russian sleeper agent and goes all out to try and clear her name. Seemingly a character that Tom Cruise was down to play but even he backed out along with the of two previous directors before Australian Phillip Noyce took control, Noyce can make a good movie for example the 1998 break through movie for Nicole Kidman Dead Calm, The Quiet American (2002) and Rabbit Proof Fence (2007), still I suppose we’ve all got to eat.
