Wondering if the Salt movie reviews are good enough to convince you to see Angelina Jolie’s newest spy thriller in the theaters this weekend?

While Salt movie reviews are a mixed bag, those who rated it positively find that Salt is a fun, fast-paced action-y thriller, so if you’re looking for a thrill-ride, this may be the flick for you.

Here’s a rundown on the Salt movie reviews…

Metacritic scores Salt a 64 (Generally Favorable Reviews), based on 34 critic reviews. 11 voters thus far have ranked it at 7.3 for a user score.

RottenTomatoes ranks Salt as 55% on the Tomatometer, with 95 reviews available. One of the biggest criticisms of the film is its implausibility.

Here are what some critics are saying about “Salt” in their movie reviews:

Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert: “It’s gloriously absurd. This movie has holes in it big enough to drive the whole movie through. The laws of physics seem to be suspended here the same way as in a Road Runner cartoon.”

Movieline, Stephanie Zacharek: “Like its star, Salt is a spare and lean piece of work; it’s everything a modern action movie should be, a picture made with confidence but not arrogance, one that believes so wholeheartedly in its outlandish plot twists that they come to make perfect alt-universe sense.”

Los Angeles Times, Kenneth Turan: “And really, who goes to summer action movies for cast-iron logic anyway? Or for plausible characters, for that matter? You go for brisk stunts expertly executed, for well-directed action that doesn’t allow you to catch your breath and for one of the preeminent action stars of our time. Yes, that would be Angelina Jolie.”

Entertainment Weekly, Owen Gleiberman: “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?”

Rolling Stone, Peter Travers: “Primed to keep your pulse racing so your brain will stop thinking, “WTF!” Go with the illogic or you’ll miss the fun.”
