A girlfriend and I went to see, “SALT” this week. We’ve both been looking forward to it all summer, so it only seemed fitting to leave the husbands and kids at home and go watch a good-old-fashioned action movie.
“SALT” delivered in every category that we’ve come to love and hope for in an Angelina Jolie action movie. She’s tough, she’s believable, and this time saving the world has nothing to do with her gender. In fact, Jolie can not only be thanked for jump-starting the action heroine franchise a decade ago with, "Tomb Raider", but she's almost making up for missed action heroine opportunities of decades past with this espionage thriller. (Spoilers throughout…)
You probably know that the original script for, “SALT” was written for Tom Cruise, who then turned it down feeling that it was too similar to his Mission Impossible role. Well, the studio then turned to Jolie who played the part originally written for a man with note perfect clarity.
