Salt

This movie was actually really great! I feel like I always write negative reviews, and I guess I usually do. Because I want to spare you all the agony of wasting your time watching crappy movies!

But I think you will all like this movie a lot. It is about equal in my mind to the Bourne movies. Except that I like it a little more. I love how it keeps tricking me--she's good!--no! she's bad!--no! she's good!--bad!--good!--bad! Okay, maybe it wasn't quite that many times, but it was a little tricky. I mean, it is what you'd expect from an Action / Russian Spy / FBI flick, but it is excellently executed.

There was plenty of violence, and death--one horrifying death in particular--but I think the level of violence is about equal to what was in the Bourne movies. Or in Mission Impossible. And the plot is just so fantastically riveting! And Angelina Jolie does a superb job. Go watch this tonight!
