Angelina Jolie - action movie, adventure


This 9 minute clip isn't a movie trailer or an ad per se. It is more like one of those "behind the scenes" or "The Making of" type of clip you find on DVDs. I actually like it. Angelina Jolie plus a couple of the film makers involved in making the movie "Salt" talk about how they shot some of the scenes/stunts. They also talk about how Angelina doesn't want to be just be a pretty girl in a Bond movie, but actually play a female version of Bond.



I find this clip to be pretty interesting. If you like watching this type of "behind the scenes" stuff, you will probably enjoy it too. I got it for free so I don't have any complaints. Salt - The Ultimate Female Action Hero Featurette

I give this a 5 star rating, mainly because of the discussions of the stunt work involved in the film itself, this being only the featurette. I was impressed with the fact that Angelina does most of her own stunt work (they actually imply that she does it all, but I am not sure if that is the case), and with the demonstrations of just how it is done. Interviews with Angie and the stunt directors/coordinators on this are very informative. A little more about the plot aside from the stunt work might have been good, but sometimes there is a fine line there between teasing and completely giving the story away, which the producers cannot afford to cross also. I's say probably watch the movie first, then this featurette, to appreciate some of the movie.

If you are looking for a good action movie look elsewhere. If you like Angelina regardless of the movie, enjoy! The movie's story is weak, and you cannot build a good action movie only on the looks of the main actress who is supposed to look tough for the movie.

Angelina Jolie seemed to be able to make Evelyn Salt play in the danger zone using gunplay and power punches with expeditious dexterity, and as her body is challenged to perform as a weapon in itself, she responds with surprise during peak scences and shows determination and a countenance of seriousness in order to resolve misunderstandings in her love life. She deals with issues like death, trust, and work ethics to meet personal and professional expectations, to later reveal her true mission unraveling suspense, anger, and loyalty. The best since Hancock. Satisfy this tease by watching the whole movie.

This was a good movie, I am a big fan of the actress.



I think its cool that amazon has these free trailers for people right from their web site.



I have not yet rented a movie from amazon, waiting my VGA cord to hook up to flat screen then I will give their rental a shot.



Re-caps after renting a movie.

This is literally one of the best movies of all time. The acting is fantastic and there is always suspense. The directing is awesome, and it keeps you guessing the entire time. Half of the time you don't even know who the good guy is.

You should watch this movie now!

The name of the product implies this is the full movie, but this is just a 9 minute trailer and not a very interesting at that.



The movie itself was quite entertaining if you accept from the start that a lot of it is not believable and/or silly. My wife liked the movie. I thought it was OK, I enjoyed the "bad Russians" - nice throw back to the 80's. - Adventure - Action Movie - Hero - Action'
