Image via WikipediaSummer is a great time for all of the blockbuster movies to be released. If you are looking to spending a hot summer day indoors, and want a fast, exciting, and suspenseful movie, consider watching Salt.
Salt stars Angelina Jolie and Liev Schreiber. Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a CIA operative who is sworn to protect and defend her country. She is tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian sleeper spy that has been activated to murder the Russian president who is in New York.
She goes on the run, evading capture and trying to prove her innocence. She heads for New York to foil the assassination plot and clear her own name. During her journey, she also tries to discover the truth behind her identity and has a lot of internal struggles.
Liev Schreiber plays Ted, her best friend and close confidante at the agency. He refuses to believe that she is a double agent and tries to restrain the agent in charge of bring Salt into custody. Thus ensues a cat and mouse chase that is much in line with Jason Bourne.
What could have been a predictable and far fetched plot, is made better by Jolie's incredible performance. So, if you want to step out of your own life and into a suspenseful fictional world, this is the movie for you. However, bear in mind that this is entertainment. If you are looking for a movie that mirrors real life, this is not a movie you are likely to enjoy.
I have not had the chance to watch the movie yet, but few of my mates told me it is a good story and worth watching. Probably I will rent the movie this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI have also heard some good & fresh reviews for this movie, Probably will watch it in couple of days & post my opinions.
ReplyDeleteThat was eye-catching! Thanks for the point elucidation! I even did an evaluation on my website! Why am I using shriek script all over the site?
ReplyDeleteAll the jolie fans..its a movie that will keep you excited throughout..can't miss it. Also watching those pouting lips in itself is complete money worth spend ..lol!!!
ReplyDeleteif you liked the "Jason Bourne" movies with Matt Damon. It's very similar.
ReplyDeleteAnd with the recent "dormant spies" uncovering and exchanges, it feels almost real.
wow game card
It is good to hear that Jolie, once again has starred in an out and out action flick, very few female actors has this capability.
ReplyDeleteSalt was amazingly wonderful movie but I was expecting this will be much better than Wanted but it was not of that level. Now I m waiting for Angelina's upcoming movie "the tourist". hope this will be worth watching.
