Director : Phillip Noyce
If you read the script of this film before you watch the movie you'll imagine Tom cruise & no one else doing it. Unfortunately, even Tom imagined himself doing this film & refused it later saying it was "Mission Impossible" kinda film. Bad decision, Tom.
Once Tom's refused it try to imagine someone else for the script.. umm.. may be a woman.. um.. umm.. Jo.. Jolie.. Angelina Jolie, ah yes. That's the only name that comes to mind. And rightly so.
Jolie plays, Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who's accused f being a Russian spy.
The plot f the film is nuthin great. In fact it's worthy f a ridicule. The only thing that works for Salt is that the lead is a woman and a sexy one at that. The action scenes are too good. Your heart will skip a beat when you see Jolie jumping off the roof-tops f vehicles on a busy free-way. Okay, these kinda action sequences you've seen before but not by a woman, you see. Jolie brings mysteriousness into her character. The film is fast-paced which makes you overlook the holes in the script.
It turns out that Cruise must think twice before rejecting (read : Salt) or accepting (read: Knight and Day) a film. Tym to get a new advisor, eh son?
P.S. worth a watch for Jolie, for action or jus find a reason and go..
