Movie Review: Salt

CIA agent Evelyn Salt (Angelina Jolie) just wants to get home and hang out with her husband, when a Russian defector shows up at CIA headquarters. He accuses Salt of not only being a spy but also informs the agents that Salt has plans to assassinate the Russian president. His story is believable enough that Agent Peabody (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is immediately suspicious of Salt and wants to question her, while Salt’s colleague, Ted Winter (Liev Schreiber) defends Salt’s innocence.  Salt, realizing things don’t look good for her, seizes an opportunity to escape and goes on the run, determined to prove her innocence.

Thus begins 90 minutes of action: cars chases, gun battles, hand-to-hand skirmishes, and lots of jumping off of things onto to other things. Salt is very creative in finding ways to stay ahead of the other agents while she struggles to clear her name. There are more than one MacGyver moments. But… who is Salt?  Is she really a Russian spy?  Is she dedicated to the U.S.?  There are enough plot twists to keep you guessing until the very end.

One aspect I found amusing was how Salt would pick up items along the way that she needed, clothing or whatever, without drawing any attention to herself and without breaking stride.

Now, in order to buy Salt, you have to believe that a woman as small as Angelina Jolie could beat every man she comes across in hand-to-hand combat. Yes, she is well trained, but so are the male agents.  But, at least they didn’t make it look easy; she has to grit her teeth and jump off of walls for leverage.  You also have to believe that all these well-trained agents are really bad shots when they’re trying to take down someone on the run. However, I guess you can say that about any of these type movies – because if the main character is shot, it’s pretty much over.

Once things get going, Salt is action until the end, but the storyline is not quite as strong as the action (rent one of the Bourne movies if you want that); however, it certainly was entertaining and held my attention throughout.  I give Salt three out of five Slurpees.

* Salt * Director: Phillip Noyce * Starring: Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor * Writer: Kurt Wimmer * Time: 100 minutes * Rated PG-13 * Action/Thriller * Trailers *

Day X Exists ~ Salt begins July 23, 2010

Thanks for coming to Slurpee Chronicles for Day X Exists game hints.

Intro video was made using the Talking Tom Cat app on my iPhone.  I added transitions in the trailer using iMovie on my Mac.  Just because.

Salt Movie Game: Day X Exists – Bonus Code

Here’s a treat for you: one of the bonus codes for the Salt Day X Exists game.  Drum roll please…

Assassination

Salt Movie Game: Day X Exists – Mission 7

Here’s a hint for solving Mission 7: Stealth of the Salt Day X Exists game.

1. The clue letters are slightly grayed out in the mission report.  The letters I found are:
   window 1 (E, P), window 2 (R, E), window 3 (E, S), and window 4 (L).
2. Then just unscramble the letters to form the clueword.  Hint: The word starts an S and ends with an R and it means double agent, informer, or operative.

Good luck!

Salt Movie Game: Day X Exists – Mission 8, part II

Here’s a hint for solving Mission 8: Sniper of the Salt Day X Exists game.  These hints pertain to the Mission 8 mission report.  Click here to view the hints for solving the Mission 8 Sniper game.

1. The clue letters are slightly grayed out in the mission report.  The letters I found are:
   window 1 (F), window 2 (C), and window 3 (L).
2. Window 4 does not include a clue letter, but it includes ROT13 in light blue font at the end of the report.  ROT13 is a converter.
3. Go to www.ROT13.com and plug in the three letters from the mission report.  This will decipher the code and give you the correct cluecode.

Salt Movie Game: Day X Exists – Mission 9, part II

Here’s part II of Mission 9 of the Salt Day X Exists game.  I previously posted some tips about beating the game portion here: Shootout, but this post is about deciphering the Mission Code.

1. The clue letters are underlined in the mission report.  The letters I came up with are:
   window 1 (F), window 2 (J, N), window 3 (N, X) and window 4 (R, A)
2. At the end of the message in window 4, you will see ROT13 in light blue font (this was also visible in the report in mission #8).  At first I thought it was some weird error, but I looked it up on Google and discovered that it was actually a type of converter.
3. So… go to www.ROT13.com and plug in the seven letters from the mission report.  This will decipher the code and give you the correct letters you need.
4. Then, unscramble those letters to come up with the clue word.  Hint: The word starts with an A and ends with an S, and it’s the opposite of “goes to sleep”.

Hope this helps you!

Salt Movie Game: Day X Exists – Mission 9

If you have been playing the Day X Exists game that goes with the movie Salt, here are some tips to help you with playing the game portion of Mission 9: Shootout.  Note: This posting is not about the mission report cluecode.

Please leave me a comment if these tips helped you. Thanks!

There are three levels to the game:

• Level 1 has three operatives. The one in the middle appears to be the sharpest shot, so you might want to take him out first.
• Level 2 has five operatives. The one way in the back is the toughest.
• Level 3 has six operatives. The one in the upper right is the most difficult.

Some general tips:

• You start with five bars of energy. When you have one bar left, you will hear your heart beating. When no bars are left, it beats faster and louder. If you get hit the sixth time, the game ends.
• Wait for an operative to shoot, then press the space bar to take a peak.
• Remember to periodically press your space bar to take cover and to reload.
• If you hit an operative in the body, it takes three shots to kill him; however, if you get a head shot, you can take him out in one shot.
• There is no time limit, so don’t rush. Take your time and aim.
• Body shots are 250 points and head shots are 500.  But the more operatives you can shoot in the head in a row, the more points you can accumulate.

After playing a few times, I was eventually able to get every operative in the game in one shot each and scored 52,500 points.  Have you figured out how to score more?
