Angelina Jolie, singly handed the role of a guy well in this film. Fast pace moving from beginning to end all packed within 100 minutes and yet it seems like a 2 hours film. Every other previews/reviews of the movie would give you the idea about her role as a Russian spy. Over here, I spoil the movie for you by giving you the details and here they are.
It begins with her clothed in lingerie being tortured in the Korean jail and was bail out by her husband. The film shows snap shots of how the Russians spies were trained from childhood to tolerate torture. Could elaboration on that make the film saltier? Maybe it could be another whole new movie. She takes on the challenge to escape from one dead end to another, from one mission to another flawlessly, almost as if the path was totally pathed for her. Maybe adding slightly more obstacles such as covering her head while on the drive in the police car would have put her in a more challenging position to escape. That could be saltier.
It was really salty to see that she finishes off dismissing her feelings towards seeing her husband killed in front of her. She kills without having regret almost without feelings. Impressive. I'm expecting a SALT 2, because the movie didn't finish off and she said she wants to have a revenge for her husband's murder. We'll see how salty the next movie could be.
This film lacks slightly in the emotional touching aspect that are appealing to girls. So its still a guy's film in a woman's body. Not recommended for first date movies.
Overall, 4/5 star. I'm looking for saltier SALT 2.
