Yes and her name is… Angelina Jolie. I knew this day would come and we would find the whole truth on how she can move so good and just be awesome in the movies. She is a Russian Spy here to destroy America!
Or so I thought…I had the privilege of watching “Salt” tonight and decided to write an informal review on it. First a little background: Who is Salt? that is the tagline for the movie and that’s what you will be wondering the whole movie. I’m going to try and not throw too many spoilers out there in case you want to see it. Her name is Eveline Salt and she is a “Russian Spy” or is she being set up? In the movie you get to know that Eveline Salt is actually a CIA member and during an interrogation she discovers that she is in fact a Russian Spy. Or is she really?
I know, I’m not making sense but is all part of the mystery. Now here is my thoughts on it. I will be the first to admit that I love how Angelina Jolie portrays her characters and this character was no exception. However, there were a couple of things that I did not liked about this movie. First of all the story has a lot of plot holes in it, if you decide to watch it, you’ll know what I mean. Secondly, is not believable enough. During the movie you’ll find your self saying: “What the heck?” in both meanings of the phrase. Yes, you will see yourself saying “What the heck is going on? :O” and “What the heck was that?!”
What was the best feature of the movie? The action sequences. Although somewhat fantastic, they were very entertaining. You’re on the edge of your seat when she is fighting and you will find yourself throwing punches around with her. ** CAREFUL WITH THE PERSON SITTING NEXT TO YOU!!! ** Or if you are a “macho man” you will be disgusted by the sight in knowing that a woman can be strong. (you know you’re out there…). I thought she kicked some serious …….
What was the worse feature of the movie? The story. The story failed to grab your attention and become part of it. Except me…I get sucked in to every movie I see (hence why I would like to be in movies!!!). In this movie, I found myself getting sucked in to the movie, but at some points it completely lost me and that’s why I thought the story was the weakest link of it.
Would I recommend this movie? Ehh…maybe you should wait to see it on Netflix or DVD. However, if you have nothing to do and would like to be entertained, maybe you should give it a try. You may like it. Everyone have different opinions…this is just mine. Overall Rating: 3/5
Have you seen the movie? What are your thoughts on it?
