SALT

Angelina Jolie is a rogue agent on the run.  If you want to watch a chase movie this is it.  Most of the movie is the chase with miraculous manoeuvres to get out of situations and link multiple chases.  While entertaining the repetition and impossible feats make this cringe worthy and boring.

The story is very weak, but if your watching for the chasing and the running, don’t worry yourself!

Angelina Jolie is incredible with her multiple disguises, hair colours and at one point a male!
Left very disappointed, tomb raider was better. Not a great deal more to say.

Even so I am looking forward for Cleopatra in 2013. I reckon Angelina Jolie would be great.

The Tourist

Johnny Depp is the tourist, an American mathematics teacher who travels.  Angelina Jolie is a spy who has instructions to find a person who can impersonate her partner.  She finds Johnny Depp on a train, there is a romantic link and he ends up in a hotel by himself and more than desperate to find her again.   Depp manages to get himself embroiled in her business as the lookalike and saves the day.   Jolie  burns her instructions and the burnt fragments are found and stuck back together again – brought back from the ashes with ointment (honestly) just trying to be too be clever, especially at the ending which did not complement rest of film.  Was silly and funny at times, but lacked engagement.
