Review: SALT

To start off, I just want to say that action movies can be good, if they're done right. And by right, I mean good. There's some movies out there that just have explosions and unrealistic fight scenes and it makes the movie extremely unbelievable. A movie should make a person get away and become swept up in the film, not wake up when something stupid, or physics defying, pops up.
Now that I started it with that statement, I can comfortably say this: SALT wasn't one of those films. SALT was actually a descent film that had a plot. The movie reminded me alot of EAGLE EYE with curves and twists in the story and a final acceptance at the halfway point of the film. And at one point in the film, JOLIE was dressed to look like a SHIA LABEOF with a bad speech impediment.
Unlike EAGLE EYE, SALT relies on the media hype to further entice the audience. It's downfall is the previews. Every single preview has the same fucking scenes in it, it's just cut differently so you wouldn't notice. It pisses me off because all the good stuff is in the previews. Don't get me wrong, it was still good. There was a few times I looked over to my girlfriend and nodded in appreciation of the effect or JOLIE's stunt double's kick or punch.

A nice note: ANGELINA JOLIE's stunt double's name is EUNICE.

I hate how the previews give away all the good stuff. But I hate it more when there are exclusive clips in the trailer that are cut from the final film! It's annoying. There were a few scenes in the SALT trailers, ALL TRAILERS, that were excluded from the film and that bothered me.


SPOILER HIGH-LIGHT TO REVEAL: There was no sexy JOLIE sex scene in this movie like the trailer suggests. Not like I solely went to see the film just for a small glimpse of JOLIE's side boob. That's absurd!


Other than everything I put in; I suggest to see it. It's an interesting movie that leaves you guessing only half-way through the film, until you realize what's going on cause it's kinda obvious, but you still stay in the theatre because you wanna see how it turns out....and because you still have some popcorn left.
