| A real "page turner" (by bolboda) |
| I won tickets to a sneak peek of this movie the day before it officially released and took my husband. We had no real idea of anything about it beyond it was a spy movie with Angelina Jolie. We figured we'd at least get eye candy out of it. What we got was an incredible ride and my husband pointed out Jolie was not really eye candy in this movie . My husband called it best, I think, with the phrase, "Hollywood's version of a page turner" and he also said it restored his faith in Hollywood after "The Last Airbender". I've read a few too many thriller books to <more> |
| Jolie plays Bourne (by mr-natural) |
| I enjoyed this flick - it's a satisfying thriller with nonstop action, and Jolie does it proud. I would like to say that I'm surprised by all the negative reviews, all of which seem to take offense at the various "illogical" and "unrealistic" aspects of the film. These same folks no doubt LOVE films like Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean, films of the fairy tale genre with license to dismiss realism altogether. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But it is too bad they can't appreciate a fine little thriller like this that just fudges with <more> |
| Angelina Jolie Proves Why She's the World's Biggest Action Star (by dayXexists) |
| SALT was a complete adrenaline rush. It's not Bourne but it's not quite Bond- it's got elements of both. Somewhere in between, like Bourne on speed. I don't want to give anything away, but no, the plot is not as complex as Inception. However there are enough twists and turns to keep you satisfied. The story is intriguing and will keep your interest but first and foremost this is an action film. And the action is top notch. There's a lot of new sequences that we haven't seen before in film. No, the movie is not overly realistic but it's not trying to be.But <more> |
| Angelina's Best Action Movie Ok, after "Wanted" (by guilherme_9192) |
| I really don't understand why people sometimes like to choose a movie and start complaining about it. "SALT" is awesome! Angelina Jolie even more awesome! The movie is fun, exciting and well directed. Angelina Jolie is great because she can do an action scene like no one, but she also can do the "drama" scenes very well because she's a great actress. The action sequences are not totally realistic sometimes, but still much more realistic than many other movies and they did a great a decision on not using CGI all the time actually, i don't remember any scene <more> |
| Kick-ass movie (by beth-kenneh) |
| I can't see why people are complaining, it wasn't a bad movie at all. Angelina Jolie is one of the best, if not, the best female to play an action role! The plot was believable, considering the KGB, although, to the extreme. The film had some good twists, can we say 'double agent'?? There is a lot of action, tasteful, without all the blood and vulgarity. Could have done with more of a background to Leiv's character and Salt's spider loving husband but hey ho, we can't have everything.I also like the fact that the ending was left like that, leaves a sequel open to <more> |
| A few issues don't bother me. (by tasev1) |
| I pretty much got exactly what I wanted out of this film, and thus I walked out quite satisfied. A female version of Jason Bourne, mixed in with a "24"-style storyline and old cold-war movie nostalgia and some good plot twists made this action film great to watch. No matter how skinny Jolie may be or how she may look in real life , Hollywood always makes her look pretty on the big screen - covered in blood or otherwise. HOWEVER, my biggest qualm IS Jolie - her size doesn't fit the role and the type of stunts she does. She certainly appears capable, but certainly not believable. <more> |

| A Summer Film that Never Stops! A Ticking Time Bomb! (by hahacyprus) |
| I must admit that I was quite surprised at the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed Angelina Jolie's Salt! Considering the fact that I entered the theater without expecting anything. Salt is one hell of an action film! This is exactly what a summer film is all about! It never stops; you're barely given enough time to breath! In addition, amidst all of the gorgeous stunts and high-octane action scenes, Jolie stands out and gives it her best; she is truly incredible! I won't waste that much time on the plot: It's mainly about Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer, who is accused of being a <more> |
| Jolie proves she can play rough in Kurt Wimmer's Salt (by EmilyMoulder) |
| While I can't say that I was awaiting Angelina Jolie's latest outing with bated breath, I was intrigued by the fact that Salt was originally intended to be a Tom Cruise vehicle.Tom's waning box office pulling-power aside, this sex-swap was a smart move by writer Kurt Wimmer Equilibrium as it gives Jolie the chance to prove that she can lay the smack-down on just as many henchmen as the boys can. Having her rather than him as the duplicitous CIA agent Evelyn Salt, Wimmer gives a fresh angle to a plot that could easily have been a boring instalment of the Bourne series. Salt also <more> |
