i'm not CHEESY. i'm SALTY.

I'm speaking on behalf of Angelina Jolie. Yang berperan sebagai agen CIA Evelyn Salt. Yang filmnya, SALT, aku tonton beberapa hari yang lalu tapi belum sempet nulis, because some things kept me distracted and busy. Errr, kept US here in the office distracted and busy, precisely. I hope this shi.. eh.. stuff will turn good at the end.

Oke kembali pada SALT. Action, check. Thriller, check. Semua memenuhi faktor serunya sebuah film action dan thriller. Pace yg cepat, car chasing, guns shotout, explosions, disguise, you name it. Seru banget lah. Secara "mata" emang seru banget. But somehow i felt a big hole on it. Rasanya film ini seperti stoples kecil dimana dijejalkan begitu banyak hal-hal yg klise seputar 'American spy'. Pengkhianatan seorang espionage, Amerika versus Rusia, program cuci otak anak-anak kecil untuk dijadikan spy handal, nuclear war, destroying Moslem's holy city and ignite American vs moslem terrorist. Wew. That's too much for 100 mins length movie. Jadi terasa agak shallow.

About Mrs. Pitt, our incredible Angelina Jolie... She's great, as always. Doing some stunts by herself. Tapi entah kenapa, mungkin karena karakternya di dunia nyata sudah terlalu kuat sementara penggambaran karakter si Salt malah kurang mantap, jadinya all I see is Angelina Jolie. Not Evelyn Salt. Dan meskipun bibirnya masih sangat tantalizing, kenapa dia jadi kurus sekali?? Tiap kali dia jatuh atau dipukul, rasanya sendi-sendiku ikut nyeri, for she's waaaay toooo thin.

Konon film ini akan dijadikan trilogi seperti Bourne. That's one hella good idea. Kita punya James Bond, Jason Bourne, Indiana Jones, Ben Gates, tapi kita belum punya 1 jagoan cewe yg handal. Evelyn Salt bisa jadi kandidat yang sangat keren. But please. She really need a good screenplay too...
