Movie Review #1 SALT

      Carried by Angelina Jolie's compelling and well structured acting as Evelyn Salt, the movie Salt does a great job pulling readers in cool fight and action scenes creating a pleasant film experience for teenage viewers and up, but falls short in terms of dialogue. The cinematography of the movie creates a story itself, furthering the plot and the suspense of the movie with well placed and executed pan, tilt, boom, and lift shots. These shots complemented the action of the characters very nicely, bolstering the feel of the action scenes with well timed match cut's and movements.

     However, the movie's script leaves much to be desired. The acting certainly carries the film, but the unfunny jokes and the unoriginal lines detract from the film. As a viewer, I would space out during the lines of dialogue, but wake myself up for the action-packed fight scenes. an improvement in the dialogue would greatly improve the feeling of the film.

     Overall, Salt is a well shot action film with seemingly no innovative and well structured dialogue, leaving viewers solely interested in Angelina Jolie's badass fight scenes. Overall, I would rate this movie a 6/10, solely due to Angelina Jolie's execution as Evelyn Salt.
