Salt.... See it!
Okay, so I saw this movie last night and was satisfied, but not thrilled. The action was cool and the car chases were fun, but the plot was just a mess. I mean, she's a Russian spy and then **SPOILER ALERT** she turns to help the Americans? What's up with that? Angelina Jolie looked bored while acting, which killed some of the scenes. With predictable twists, a weak plot, strange ending (Salt 2, anyone?), and just bad acting, this is definitely a movie that isn't one of my top movies. I still say to watch it because of the fun action and engrossing car chases. So overall, don't expect an Academy Award nominee movie, but more of a fun escape from the terrible movies out now.

Jolie's latest action thriller is a fun, twisty thrill-ride for teenagers
Salt is a pure action film. It has some phenomenal stunts by Angelina Jolie and lots of eye candy in the form of explosions in nearly every scene and, well, Angelina Jolie. There are no redeeming qualities to the film- it is sleek, stylized and completely forgettable. But while the movie is playing, all of the audience members will have a blast with it. The twisty plotline follows a dedicated CIA agent who is forced to abandon everything that she loves after she is accused of being a Russian sleeper spy. As the stakes get higher and agents from both countries close in on the agent, Evelyn Salt (Jolie), it becomes uncertain which side she is actually playing for. There are many explosions and many people are killed by Salt. Salt is tortured in one scene and people are stabbed, punched and killed gratuitously. There is no sexual content in the film and language is kept mostly clean. Kids may have trouble following the plotline, but teenagers will have a lot of fun with this fast-moving action thriller.

i rate this title IFFY for ages 15+
What to watch out for * Messages: The main message here seems to be "trouble could be lurking under your very nose" -- Russian spies could be anywhere, and there's nothing you can do about it unless you're a trained super spy. A slightly more positive message is hidden for the purposes of a "twist" in the movie's plot. * Role models: Salt is a hero who's made to look like a villain for most of the film. Her ultimate aim is to prevent the world from being destroyed, but she also acts out of revenge. She kills many people during her journey and steals things whenever she needs them, and she never trusts anyone. * Violence: Heavy action violence, with lots of shooting, stabbing, fighting, punching, chasing, and explosions. The heroine is tortured in the opening scene; she's pummeled, and gasoline is poured down her throat. A man kills two guards with a shoe knife. Salt is shot and wounded; she stabs and kills a man with a broken vodka bottle. A flashback of Salt as a little girl shows her bruised and clad in bandages, as if she had been horribly beaten. * Sex: Some romantic kissing. In one scene, Salt removes her panties from under her skirt, using them to cover up and disable a security camera. She's also shown in her underwear during the opening scene. There's a shot of a Long Island bar called "Jugs and Strokers." * Language: The most frequent words used are "godd**n" and "s--t." "F--k" is used at once. Also "Jesus Christ" (as an exclamation), "d**n," and "h**l." * Consumerism: One very prominent Pepsi billboard, a brief glimpse of a Heineken truck, and images of board games like Operation, Connect Four, and Othello. * Drinking, drugs, & smoking: The Russian spies drink a lot of vodka in a "background" way.

Salt
Amazing movie. Salt was definetly one of my favorite movies of 2010. It does have alot of violence, two or three sceens I had to look away. Also there is also alot of swearing. The Russians also drink alot of vodka. This thriller will keep you wondering until the end and maybe even after the movie is finished. I would recommend this to anyone 13 and over, but it a spectacularly done movie.

A bit iffy
Great film but it is quite violent. I saw it when I was 12 and loved it. The violence in the film might seem bad from a parent or young child's perspective but I think most 12 year olds can handle the action. At the start of the movie Salt is badly beaten and yes a flashback suggests she was beaten as a child but let's not pretend kids don't understand this stuff. Overall I would say it's age appropriate for 12+

Worse movie ever, plus, THIS AINT A PG-13!
This is the worse movie I have ever seen. It was scary and had some blood which I had to cover my eyes for at least 2 minutes. This is a 15, for sure.

Awesome Jolie Action Film
I'm not a big Angelina Jolie fan, but this movie was great. People complain about all the violence, which is mostly shooting and some punching. You see them get shot and fall, but don't see the blood. Salt gets beaten up near the end and stays covered in blood. They say a few different swear words repeatedly. Could be confusing to younger audiences. Good for thirteen and up.

Very intense, violent, and sometimes even bloody and brutal. NOT for young kids.
My rating: R for an opening scene of brutal torture, intense sequences of violence and action throughout, and some strong language.

Great for teens but not for young kids
I think that salt was a fantastic movie and it is a must see movie. This movie is about a russian spy that is trying to kill the russian president, it is action packed and you are sitting on the edge of your seat (well, at least i was) the stunts were really cool exept i doubt that Angelina Jole did almost any of them. My only concerns are the amount of violence for example in the first scene Salt gets tortured with a sharp spoon type thing and she is all bloody. But overall i think this is a really well done movie and well... you need to see it.
