It's been ages since I went to the movies, so when I visited a friend in New Hampshire I had to check out the new cinemas in Hooksett near Manchester. "Salt", starring Angelina Jolie, certainly filled the bill for anyone looking for nonstop action and intrigue. It was about a CIA agent planted as a mole and trained as a child by the old Soviet KGB and activated to wreak new havoc in a post Cold War world. The movie, which was originally supposed to star Tom Cruise in a role similar to his "Mission Impossible" character, got mixed reviews. I'll give it high marks for Jolie's portrayal. She even did her own stunts. I really couldn't tell what side she was working for until two-thirds of the way through the plot. That alone kept me on the edge of my seat. By the time the movie's over, you'll think two things: 1.) Who CAN you trust? 2.) The scene has definitely been set for a sequel.
