Salt

her view:

First off, I am a HUGE Angelina Jolie fan. I love that she never does the same movie, and that she is (I think) a really great actor. She is absolutely stunning, and I think I would like to be her after watching this movie, as much as I wanted to be Demi Moore after seeing G.I. Jane (still one of my favourite movies of all time). She is tough, in terrific shape and gorgeous-who wouldn't want to be her?

Salt is an action movie. Angelina Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a woman married to a husband she loves and a dog. She seems blissfully happy, despite various traumatic events in her past. Right from the start you aren't sure what her role is, exactly. It quickly becomes obvious what they want you to think, and off you go.

I enjoyed the movie, not only because it was action and Angelina Jolie, but also because through it all, Evelyn only seems to have concern for her husband. She just wants to make sure her husband is safe. There are some terrific stunts, some of which I understand were done by A.J. herself, some were obviously doubles. My favourite part of the show is seeing how freakishly large her feet actually are-seriously, quite masculine! She must be a very tall woman, because her hands have always seemed large to me, but suited to her. The feet come off the same way, but holy jumpin'!

I would recommend this movie for both men & women, because the action was great, the story was good-full of twists and turns, and, despite the cliffhanger ending that leaves the suggestion of a sequel, or perhaps a t.v. show, was a satisfying thrill ride.

And I didn't mind the preview for Paranormal Activity 2 at the start, either-so excited about that one!

His View

Female action movie! Need I say more except we don't get to see nudity when dealing with big stars like Angelina Jolie.

In comparison think Bourne Identity with a lot of cool chase/escape scenes and ass kicking! Jump from an overpass onto a truck, then jump to another truck, and then jump to ANOTHER truck...this is the type of tense action you can expect from “Salt”

The movie has a twist like all good movies now a days but not the twist you may expect right off the bat. They also leave it open at the end so their could be a second movie or god forbid a cheaper TV version.

There are also great performances by Liev Schreiber (Who I always think of as Cotton Weary from the Scream movies) and Chiwetel Eljiofor (Who is sneaking to super star real fast with the help of his Kinky Boots).

Some of your girlfriends or wives may like this movie if they like Angelina Jolie movies.

I give Salt...
