Salt

The last time I enjoyed Angelina Jolie in anything (Not counting Kung Fu Panda) was Mr. And Mrs. Smith. I’m just not crazy about her choices. But despite the terrible title, Salt isn’t bad. It’s got a Jason Bourne, Manchurian Candidate vibe with some fun twists. The taut action and brisk pace, orchestrated with precision by Jolie’s Bone Collector helmsman Philip Noyce, beguiles you into ignoring the big plot holes and the impossibility of Jolie’s physical feats. So, taken with a grain, it’s one of the funner movies of an unimpressive summer.
