Salt The Movie

Who is Salt? CIA or KGB? When is Day X? What is Day X? These are among the questions revolving around the show being the first one as the main theme of it.

In the beginning, I almost believed that Salt was a CIA agent. A special one by the way. I almost changed my mind in the middle of the story when she actually initiated the plan to kill the Russian President. The President was shot and there she was, Evelyn Salt, the Russian agent.

However, there was something wrong. I took a glance at my watch. Of course, the illuminating light from my G-Shock gave a slight distraction to fellow persons watching beside me. There was still time. The movie was just half way through.

I took a quick travel to the past. There was this spider which some liquid was injected out of it. Hmm, that must be something. And then, all the CIA agents that were attacked by Salt were spared their lives. And then, the most obvious one, this is a Hollywood movie. Non-U.S can’t win in a Hollywood movie. And there she was again. The great betrayal. Salt was brought to the lair of the Russians agent, saw his husband safe and alive for only a few seconds before he was shot dead right in front of her. She got acknowledgment from her fellow Russians and then, she killed them all. She killed those who called her ‘sister’. She was a CIA agent after all. It feels good when your prediction hits the target bulls-eye.

This is a typical Hollywood movie to propagate that U.S is the savior of the world by having the best intel in the world. Salt is just one of them, or so. The best part was that the Russians almost succeeded in implicating U.S for a potential bombing of Mecca and Tehran. Saudi is known to be a close ally of the U.S… but Iran? That’s interesting!
