SALT (2010)

UNPREDICTABLE and DIE HARD. That's the two impression which I got after watching this movie. 'Salt' is a surprisingly well-made, enthralling, thriller of a movie. The film has so many good twists and turns, it's hard not to be excited about anything that happens in the film.

I suggest to anyone who plans on seeing 'Salt' to throw away any knowledge they thought they knew about the film before seeing it. If you think you know everything about 'Salt' from the trailers and commercials and whatnot, think again. The plot from the trailers was really interesting, and good enough to get a lot of people to go see the film. HOWEVER, the genius part is whenever these people actually go and view the movie, 'Salt' delivers exactly what everyone expects from it… but just in its first 20 to 30 minutes. The majority of the film, the 70 minutes after that, is what 'Salt' is truly about!!

Plot :

As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a defector accuses her of being a Russian spy. Salt goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture. Salt's efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her motives, as the hunt to uncover the truth behind her identity continues and the question remains: "Who is Salt?"

The reasons why I like this movie :

1. The story is unpredictable. That's for sure. At first, I really thought that this movie was just like an ordinary "spy" movie. You become a spy, get caught then run and a happy ending as usual. BUT, "salt" is really make me say "wow"! The majority of the film is amazing simply because you never know what's going to happen. The parts about Evelyn Salt being framed as a Russian sleeper agent, on the run from the government, trying to clear her name and find her husband, are practically all thrown away after the first 20 to 30 minutes – they're no longer important. During the duration of the film, we continuously run into a multitude of plot twists, and each one leads the main character onto her next destination. All of these plot twists are amazing and shocking in the right way; they're not badly thought-out twists. Each twist makes us ask a new question, most of which are never really answered by the end of the film.

2. ANGELINA JOLIE as the main character. She's really great as an action actress. She kept changing her appearance so that she could finish her mission :
