Liked it better when it was called SALT


With Angelina Jolie

reply

Salt started great, but it lost it's steam before half of the movie.

reply

SALT is a completely different film---the only thing these two films have in common is that they both feature female secret agents in the lead. That's all.

reply

Salt was definitely much better. It lived in the moment rather than in a suspense-killing flashback structure. And Salt made sure the audience was understanding what was happening in the plot without getting impenetrable and convoluted.

reply

You mean that Salt was linear and therefore simpler to grasp.

That doesn't make it better.

That's the thing about a suspense / mystery: you're supposed to be thinking during the film.

reply

Nah, ATOMIC BLONDE was even better than SALT and the fight scene are much more tougher and realistic----that's what I liked about it.

reply

You mean the French movie - La Femme Nikita.

reply

This film really has nothing more in common with La Femme Nikita either, other than the female lead. Totally different stories.

reply

Yes, you are right - both different except I thought Salt wasn't very good. La Femme Nikita was just so good. And Atomic Blonde was almost like a Luc Besson movie. Also, the Long Kiss Goodnight was very good.

not even close
