3quartertime Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Salt Just watched this one. Not bad! Angie seems way too skinny to be such a baddd asss, but it works. Kind of a neat twist that sorta twists again. Starts out with Angie in just a bra and panties!!! Recommended!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydiver Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 If bad ass skinny heroines throws you for a loop, "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" should be interesting. I've not seen the Swedish versions of the movie, yet, and I just heard that the American version has finished casting. (Shh! No spoilers, I'm only halfway through the second book.)

scap99 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Not feeling the whole trend out of Hollywood that has a chick beating down multiple bad guys at the same time. Movie was otherwise quite entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninemmbill Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Salt was entertaining. Casting Angelina Jolie worked out good, not many female actresses can pull off the badass character. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was an interesting movie, kinda Hannibal Lecterish. Looking forward to the American version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcmunson Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Spring and summer are too busy here for watching movies. Just saw Salt. I found it interesting that Jolie is ambidextrous when using firearms. Thanks be to the director who never had her use two guns simultaneously.

Gregg K Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 This one just came out on Red Box. I found it entertaining. The wife liked it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkCO Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 Saw it last night. It was decent. Probably better if you are one of the ones who can totaly let go of reality, laws of physics, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaredr Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 think the expression that applies to all of those flicks is "willing suspension of disbelief" as long as I'm just watching it for 90 minutes of car chases and CGI/wirework martial arts stuff, then that sort of thing can be pretty entertaining... as soon as someone starts asking questions about how a russian sleeper agent becomes a senior agent or director at the NSA (or whatever the heck liv schreiber's character was) then it all comes tumbling down.

Dan Hefta Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I liked it, Angie is hot and a bad ass. Sure the skinny hot chick beeting the hell out of the entire Secret Service is a bit over the top but that didn't ruin it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gohuskers Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I think the "suspension of disbelief" Hollywood expects from even the average viewer is a bit too much. I'll pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XD Niner Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I watched this on DVD last night after having seen it at the movies a while back. I just can't fathom how you folks can't believe a lone slip of a woman can wreak all that havoc with nothing more than a flesh wound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trini Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Just watched SALT again on DVD. Took Netflix several months to get it to me. Watched the Special Features which showed AJ doing lots of her own stunts (with safety wire of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Sweeney Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I had an interesting experience with Salt; I saw it on a flight across the Atlantic, but didn't have sound. So all I got were the visuals. Dialogue, plot, etc. were obviously not there. (And for all I know, weren't there even if the sound had been one.) What I found very interesting was the characters OODA loop. Jolie had the character always looking, and always a step ahead. even while performing some amazing stunt, the character was looking for the next step. This provided (for those who saw it) entry to each step, instead of the usual "How'd he/she think of that!" reaction. Not going to rent it, but happy to have seen what I saw.
