Salt

Synopsis: Angelina Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer who swore an oath to duty, honour, and country. When she is accused by a defector of being a Russian sleeper spy, Salt goes on the run to clear her name and ultimately prove she is a patriot. Using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative, she must elude capture and protect her husband or the world's most powerful forces will erase any trace of her existence.

Who exactly is Salt? Is she with the Russian or the American? The movie in itself is pretty confusing, not to mention that it doesn't have a beginning or ending to start with. Just when the movie is trying to portray that she is innocent, it turns out the other way round, and just as suddenly, the table is turned again. The reason? Because of the love for her husband. But then, with the kind of brain washing and drilling that she had when she was a child, this doesn't really make sense. Setting this aside, the movie in general is a no brainer. Just sit back and enjoy the fast pace action.
