SALT

Wow it's been awhile since i updated my blog.Today i am going to update a simple post just to keep my blog ALIVE!Alright,let's start the topic.Yesterday went for movie with my baby @ One Utama.We watched SALT.Evelyn Salt is seen, before the opening titles, being tortured in a North Korean prison, from which she is sprung by a co-worker and the German arachnologist who will become her husband. If you have seen the movie, you will know how good is the movie! I love Angelina Jolie so much,she's fcking hawt! I rate this 8/10

Evelyn Salt (Jolie), a CIA agent, interrogates a Russian defector, Orlov (Olbrychski). He tells her about "Day X", an operation organized by a powerful Russian since the Cold War, which will lead to the destruction of the United States. Orlov also mentions that at the funeral of the late Vice President in New York City, the visiting Russian President will be killed by a trained Russian spy. The last thing he mentions is that the name of the Russian spy is Evelyn Salt. From brain scans performed during the interrogation, Ted Winter (Schreiber), Peabody (Ejiofor), and other CIA officials all see that Orlov is telling the truth.

Salt, who is shaken up after the accusation, under the supervision of the other agents, attempts to contact her husband Mike (Diehl) an arachnologist, fearing that he would be in danger. At the same time, Orlov escapes and Salt proceeds to escape herself, causing the CIA to think she is a spy. She goes back to her apartment to try and find her husband and takes her essentials (including a venomous spider), while escaping the CIA once more, and goes into hiding. The CIA realizes that if Orlov's words are correct, Salt will be the one who kills the Russian President. Salt assumes a new disguise and takes a bus, reaching New York City.

The next day, she sneaks into the heavily guarded St. Bartholomew's Church where the Vice President's funeral is being held. Salt creates havoc and shoots the Russian President. She encounters Peabody, but instead of killing him, she turns herself in. The NYPD escorts her out, but during the ride on the highway, she escapes.

There are a series of flashbacks that show Salt growing up in the Soviet Union where Orlov taught her and many other children to obey him and ingratiate themselves into the American government. Then, when it came to Day X, he would command them to strike from various positions in the US. Salt meets Orlov who congratulates her on her killing. He brings her to a river barge, where to test her allegiance, has another agent kill Salt's kidnapped husband in front of her. Salt appears to be unaffected by this, thus passing Orlov's test. He then tells her Part Two of Day X, which would involve controlling the nuclear weapons of the United States. Salt, who had gone to Orlov to discover his plans, then kills Orlov and everyone else on the barge. She then goes to the rendezvous set up by Orlov to meet a NATO mole.

The two go to the White House, with Salt disguised as a male NATO officer. Her NATO counterpart, without telling Salt his role, suddenly starts shooting at Secret Service agents and detonates a bomb on his body. The Secret Service rush the President to the lower bunker of the White House. Ted Winter is among them, and realizes that Salt might be in pursuit. Meanwhile, the President, believing Russia is preparing a nuclear strike against the US, begins to transmit the launch codes from the nuclear football. Salt infiltrates the bunker and dispatches the bodyguards. Just as she seems stuck outside of the room the President is in, Ted Winter suddenly picks up a gun and kills everyone but the President, whom he knocks unconscious.

He explains to an astonished Salt that he was part of Orlov's plan all along. Winter then uses the nuclear football to start the sequence for launching nuclear missiles at the Muslim cities of Mecca and Tehran, intending to enrage the world's one billion Muslims against the United States. Salt asks Winter to let her in, but Winter discovers from a playing news program that the Russian President is not dead, only placed in a near death state from spider venom. He realizes that Salt is not on his side and is planning to sabotage him. Winter reveals he convinced Orlov to break her cover and planned to kill Orlov himself when it was over. He tells her that she has done the dirty work, and, while she will take the fall as the villain after Day X, he will be the hero. He also confesses that he was the one who advised Orlov to kidnap and kill her husband. Salt, seeing a weak point behind the controls for the door lock, manages to get into the secured room and confronts Winter in combat. She succeeds in knocking him down, and the Secret Service along with CIA is heard about to enter the room. Just after she is able to abort the nuclear missile launch set up by Winter, she is arrested and Winter is able to keep his cover as the hero, so long as he can kill the President, the sole witness, undetected.

As Salt is being escorted out, she pushes aside her escorts and kills Winter by choking him to death with her handcuffs. She is put on a helicopter with Peabody, and she explains everything to him. Peabody figures she is telling the truth, after confirming her betrayal of Orlov via an SMS saying that her fingerprints were found at the barge. They both know that there are other moles out there, and Peabody agrees to let her escape, so she can find and kill them. He uncuffs her and remarks, "Go get 'em!" as Salt jumps into the river below, free once more.
