SALT


Genre: Action Crime Mystery Thriller
Direction: Phillip Noyce
Lead: Angelina Jolie

It never lets go of the grip!

The story keeps flipping towards extreme ends throughout the movie and it leaves the viewer amazed. The mystery direction is awesome, the plot is superb. Angelina Jolie, on the other hand, seems a bit unnatural for the role. The character would've been more believable if played by a male. They made the story for Tom Cruise but he refused it. But maybe some other action hero would've been a better choice. Or maybe they purposely chose a female to earn some extra points for the action sequences.

The theme and storyline is simply fabulous but the action sequences, the way she escapes every single time from the hands of everybody, is too South-Indian-ish. It does not seem real and it happens so many times that it ruins the whole build-up of the plot. So least I can do for favoring the direction and plot is reduce only half a star from the actual ratings they would've got if the sequences had been more realistic.
