Angelina Jolie Returns To Action In 'Salt,' Part Of MTV's Summer Preview Week

Posted 4/29/10 3:44 pm EST by in News


I hadn't heard much about "Salt" until a few months ago. It's just not something that made its way onto my radar. I was sold the minute I saw the trailer back in November. If you're a fan of action, heavy firepower and Angelina Jolie, then this is the movie for you.

The script, which comes from Kurt Wimmer and Brian Helgeland, is appropriately high-concept. Jolie stars as Evelyn Salt, a CIA agent who is forced to go on the run when a Russian defector IDs her as a KGB sleeper. After a tense escape from CIA HQ, Salt affects a new hairdo -- that's where the black hair comes from, FYI -- and sets out to learn exactly how she came to be in this situation and who is out to get her. It looks like another solid effort from "Patriot Games" and "Clear and Present Danger" director Phillip Noyce, especially with a cast that includes Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor and newcomer Yara Shahidi, who also stars in the upcoming ensemble comedy "Butter."
