Review: Salt

With a bunch of evil Russians on the loose looking to bring about Nuclear Armageddon, Salt is throwback to the early 90s spy action/thriller that seemed to have fallen by the wayside since a certain Mr. Bauer exploded onto our screens in 24.

Angelina Jolie is a strange choice to go all Jack Ryan, and unlike in Tomb Raider, she looks too frail in the lead role to ever really convince you that she's the one woman killing machine she's made out to be.

Salt suffers from thinking its smarter than it actually is - one twist is straight out of the Nikki and Paolo episode of Lost and to be honest, there were times you'd wonder if this was a plot for the spoof show Expose.
