Overview
Over a decade after redefining the spy thriller genre, Angelina Jolie returns as Evelyn Salt in Salt 2: Retribution (2025) — a high-octane sequel that dives even deeper into global espionage, identity, and vengeance. With Jason Statham joining the cast as a rival operative turned uneasy ally, this chapter escalates the series’ scale and intensity to new heights.
Plot Summary
Years after exposing a covert Russian sleeper network, Evelyn Salt has disappeared, living off the grid. But when a series of coordinated assassinations targets former CIA assets, Salt’s name resurfaces as the prime suspect.
Determined to clear her name and uncover the truth, Salt reluctantly partners with Agent Marcus Kane (Jason Statham) — a hardened MI6 enforcer assigned to capture her. Their cat-and-mouse pursuit turns into a deadly alliance when they discover a new black-ops program: Project REVENANT, a rogue intelligence initiative designed to resurrect Cold War sleeper agents under a new world order.
As betrayals unfold and loyalties fracture, Salt must confront her past and decide who she truly is — a spy, a fugitive, or the world’s last defense against an invisible war.
Verdict: 8.5/10
Salt 2 (2025) is a razor-sharp, pulse-pounding espionage thriller that reignites Angelina Jolie’s most iconic action role. With Statham’s presence and Noyce’s tight direction, the film delivers pure adrenaline and emotional weight in equal measure.
“The only way to survive the truth… is to become the lie.”
