Angelina is great but the film story sucks

Rating: 7/10 (24 July 2010)

"Salt" was great to watch but the story of Russian spies have not change a lot from what Hollywood tried to portrait from their previous films during the Cold War and after the Cold War. The same thing that never changes at all. The only part that drew me as an audience was action which was greatly performed. Liev and Angelina speaking Russian with weired accent was huge minus to Hollywood Production and director of the film. Being a Russian spy you should speak Russian without any accent as that's how KGB and Russia trains their spy by assigning them for job overseas, they should speak language of the country fluently with dialects so no one should notice of them being foreigners. Angelina and Liev should have trained well to speak and pronounce Russian as their native language.
The best part was to watch actions sequences by Angelina and that's all but the synopses of the film have not changed from previous spy movies produced by Hollywood. People are getting bored to watch the same story over and over again. Also, some actors who were involved in the film portraying Russian spies speak in Russian with such tone of the language that no one in Russia even speak that way.
Without Angelina the movie sucks, Angelina just added some well done actions that adds plus to the "Salt", other then that......sorry Hollywood. Hollywood should give chance to other actors to play different parts in film portraying foreigners or Americans. But they always limit this chance to good actors. If Angelina was able to play Russian spy with bad Russian accent I do not understand why foreigner should not play American with his/her accent? But Hollywood always want to have American born actor to play American but not a foreigner. Hollywood always forget that there is no American nationality, or so called American culture, it is a mixture of foreign influence who crated America as the country, country of immigrants.
SALT made $19.5M in box office and the production paid Angelina J. $20M for this movie. Next time Hollywood wants to make movie about Russian spies, please, get down to business and learn true facts about Russian Spy Network in US before writing your script. Tom Cruise was smart enough to turn down Edwin Salt part as it would look ridiculous on him but Angie did it because of actions, she did not care about the story of the film, she wanted some actions and majority of stunts she did in SALT were not performed on her own, she had double who did everything for her. So, do not go around the world and tell people "I did all my stunts on my own". Bravo Hollywood, amazing, spectacular to watch you throwing so much money away by making this film when independent filmmakers could have done better job and they always do.
