      The Hollywood Reporter

      Salt moves ever forward -- pushing, pushing, pushing its heroine to greater feats every minute. It doesn't stop for martinis, either shaken or stirred, or any other detours. The movie is lean and muscular, looking for action even in situations where a little sleight of hand might have done the trick.

      New York Daily News

      Fast-moving, exciting and contains more twists than a tunnel under Checkpoint Charlie.

      Boxoffice Magazine

      In a crackerjack and very lean 100 minutes, the lithe and physically dynamic Jolie burns up the screen and shows the boys how it's done.

      Salt knows how to stay one step ahead of you in devious, if jaw-droppingly contrived, ways. The movie is fun, dammit. So who cares, really, if it's trash?

      Variety

      As a fierce superspy and mistress of many disguises, Jolie represents the one indisputably kickass element in this brisk, professionally assembled but finally shrug-inducing thriller.

      Village Voice

      From the start, this character plays to the star's strengths, merging subject and object, warrior and victim, ass-kicker and damsel-in-distress. And hero and villain.

      Suffice it to say that it's something that would make Austin Powers blush, baby, but it's not supposed to be funny.

      Salt is a movie constantly painting itself into corners then tromping out with arbitrary twists and action distractions.
