SALT (2009)
This is one of those films that escaped me last year. After seeing it now on DVD I have to say I was very much entertained. The plot and the circumstances are quite ridiculous, and yet the non-stop action in this film makes it very entertaining. From the start we are given a full roller-coaster ride of thrills, and I have to say I had fun seeing this film. Angelina Jolie gives a very determined performance as Salt a supposedly double agent who runs from both the Russians and the Americans. The action scenes are really well done, and there is very little CGI work which seems to be the norm in today's films. That's refreshing, because some of the scenes we can actually see Jolie doing her own stunts. I must say the lady has some tenacity to do that, and it's what makes the film so enjoyable to watch. Of course there were times where I said to myself while viewing the film that had that happened in real life...
