After she's accused of being a Russian sleeper spy, rogue CIA agent EvelynSalt (Angelina Jolie) goes on the run, using every tactic, accent and disguise she knows to elude her pursuers, clear her name and protect her husband. Her supervisor, Winter (Liev Schreiber), buys her story, while counterintelligence officer Peabody (Chiwetel Ejiofor) decidedly does not and will do anything to stop her in this fast-paced, intrigue-filled spy adventure. - taken from Netflix.com
The story and action through this movie eluded me most of the way, so I enjoyed it a bit more. There was a good bit of action interspersed with bits and pieces of what was going on. Liev... damn, he played a good role in this flick! I usually am a bit of a horndog for Jolie as a rule, but I just couldn't get there for this role. She appears so ... robotic (I don't think it all was part of the role, though some of it needed to be) and I just got a bad taste in my mouth. Kind of how I went sour with her in "Changling" though she was more anorexic looking in that one. Liev saved it though, so I give it 4 stars.
