             Spy film? No thanks. Oh well, the cast is good.

       Evelyn Salt (Jolie) is a super duper CIA spy who is accused by a Russian defector of being a Russian mole scheduled to assassinate the US president. The film is all chasing and shooting and jumping from high places and other James Bondy things. Only more so. Salt makes Bony look like a wimp.

       If you like action and absurd spy stories, you’ll probably enjoy this a lot. It’s not bad for what it is but it loses ½ * because after all that violence and stuff, Jolie’s lip gloss is not even smudged and her eye make-up is still perfect.

 2 ½ * of 5
