“Salt And Fire” (** out of four) was a jumbled ecological thriller about a scientist (Veronica Ferres) who travels to South America and blames the CEO (Michael Shannon) of a large corporation for an ecological disaster; however, when a large volcano begins to show signs of erupting, they must unite in order to survive. Film fails to connect or take off, despite interesting subject matter and good cast. Shannon is terrific as usual and makes this worth watching at least for a little while. A disappointing result from provocative director Werner Herzog.
