Angelina Jolie’s been going from one over the top Action movie to the next and in SALT it looks like it gets even better. Ever since the two Tomb Raider movies, released in 2001 and 2003 respectively, she’s been into that genre. Since then she’s starred in major blockbusters such as Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Wanted, and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. The only recent movies I can think of where Jolie didn’t have to go thru action sequences were The Changeling by Clint Eastwood, and The Good Shepherd by Robert De Niro. Also I don’t remember seeing a Philip Noyce movie since The Quiet American (2002). I loved that movie and found it to be truly exceptional so, I wonder how will Noyce surprise us again in SALT. I’m gonna definitely be watching SALT on Friday, will you?

Directed by: Phillip Noyce

Staring: Angelina Jolie, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Liev Schreiber, Yara Shahidi, Zoe Lister Jones, Victor Slezak, Gaius Charles, Daniel Olbrychski, Cassidy Hinkle and Corey Stoll
