Salt Movie Review:

Jolie is Salt, a CIA agent on the run after a double cross. The plot involves embedded Russian
spies in America -- timely considering the recent news of a Russian spy ring in the States

Salt in which Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a covert CIA operative who, ostensibly, works
for a petroleum company in Washington, D.C. One day, on the way out of the office, she's
called back to question a walk-in: a Soviet defector who claims to have information about a
mole at the CIA.

Hitch the double-agent he names is Evelyn Salt. Even as the Russian is guide out, salt
is being removed for questioning. But she's also quietly freaking out because she's worried
that this is a plot in which the Russians are going to go after her husband. So, given an
opportunity, she slips out of the building to go find him -- who makes her an instant suppose
and deserter.

Her best friend at the agency, Ted (Liev Schreiber), refuses to believe that she's a
double-agent, but he can hardly restrain Peabody (Chiwetel Ejiofor), the agent leading the
charge to recapture Salt. But Salt is like a female Jason Bourne (except she knows what she's
capable of) -- and no one's going to take her without a fight and a follow.

Salt, the defector claimed, is a sleeper agent who has been activated to murder the
Russian president, who is scheduled to appear in New York to deliver the tribute for the
recently deceased former U.S. vice president. So salt heads to New York, apparently to
frustrate that plot and clear her own name.
