Considering recent world events involving Russian spies caught living on American soil, the timing of Salt’s release couldn’t have been better nor more ironic. Angelina Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, who is accused of being a KGB Sleeper Agent and goes on the run to try to clear her name. Well, sort of. Salt follows similar routes with like-minded plots seen in films such as the action-packed Bourne trilogy and Tom Cruise’s ridiculously over the top, yet highly entertaining, ‘Mission: Impossible’ films.
