Everything Wrong With Salt in 14 Minutes or Less

Salt is a fairly forgettable spy movie where Angelina Jolie is accused of being a mole. Probably plenty of sins in this thing. Let's find out.
Next week: atomic sins and space sins.
Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should we count next?

Fun Fact: This movie was originally written with Salt as a male character and Tom Cruise was approached to play him. Ultimately, he backed out and the script was rewritten with a female lead and Angelina Jolie was cast.

[@joselopez6990]

That’s why he had Jack Reacher

[@davidtatro7457]

Thank goodness.

[@OneofInfinity.]

@@joselopez6990 We got the best outcome.

[@mph419]

Tom Cruise opted out of 'Salt' because it was generic and somewhat similar to fare he'd done in the past and signed onto 'Knight & Day' instead, which was essentially a send-up of spy actioners. The box office might disagree, but I think it was the smarter (and more memorable) choice.

[@ihhaahhhhhaaa]

@@joselopez6990 That's a pretty hilarious casting choice since Cruise isn't all that tall and if I don't remember correctly doesn't fit awful well to how Reacher was described in the books. Why not go ahead and cast him as the Terminator while at it?

[@chrisR-B]

The windows breaking and not the bottle could be scientifically possible. (Not super likely I’m betting but possible). The windows are flat glass “sealing” an area. Seal in a pressure wave and things break. The bottle … while glass. Is exposed to the same air pressure on both sides. And while there would a brief imbalance with the bottle the passing wave of pressure would go over the top and some would push inside the bottle helping balance the pressure from both sides. The window does not have an “opening” to relieve the differential pressure effect.

[@ignoranceandcrisps]

Something that has always bugged me about this film: why, when Orlov announces that the Russian mole is named Evelyn Salt, does she immediately reply that that's her own name? At this point she's supposed to be playing the part of a loyal CIA officer interrogating a supposed foreign defector who may or may not be genuine. Surely the first rule of interrogations is not to reveal any information to the interrogatee, including personal information which they can turn back on you? And none of her colleagues who were watching the the conversation point this out, either. (Of course, Orlov already knows who she is, so it's not like she had any actual reason to reveal her identity, either.)

[@akosbarati2239]

This is based on the real life op from the 80s where the KGB sent in an infiltrator, then a second infiltrator came claiming to be the actual person and that the first one was a bona fide KGB agent sent to spy. The first one denied that accusations of the second one, even though in reality both were part of the same op. There's a plaque in a D.C. diner immortalizing where the KGB agent sat and told his FBI tail that he will lose him and so he did. With the recent Travis King case we can see that enemy powers still can easily fool the US. Jeremy even says it makes no logical sense for Salt to apply to various positions within the CIA that would keep her anchored in the US, even though her mission is to kill the Russian president and come back from the cold. I chalk this up to Jeremy being American. While the Soviet and Russian system is undeniably built on psychopathy, that doesn't mean there weren't immoral psychologists and psychiatrists on the regime's payroll who constantly analyze defector behavior. She applied to these positions because she was trained to escape Russia, not the US. Several defectors embedded themselves with the system for privileges of of traveling abroad, so it makes all the sense she's building a legend for herself that she has deep roots in the US.

[@thefriesofLockeLamora]

One of the greatest action movies that need a sequel please. Whew it's been a long time coming 4:11 no, it's female Jason Bourne

Or Pepper Potts.

[@bubbledoubletrouble]

13:50 Spoiler In the director’s cut Winters killed the president. The president’s successor is hinted at also being a spy from the orphanage/training compound.

And also one more spoiler. Salt's husband's death is much more excruciating and the scene is very well made.

[@jonathanmarkoff4469]

@ The director's cut made much more sense.

[@FuzzyStripetail]

Although it's really hard to keep a lid on it, the saltiest (and surprisingly spidery-est) time of my life was that summer I spent working at Jugs-N-Strokers.

[@mattweed342]

Missed the Sin about the amount of venom they got out of that spider…..they don’t have nearly that amount, but that much would have imploded it like the Oceangate

I’ve been waiting for this sins video for so long. It deserves it so so much.

[@alex_bee]

I know right!! In a good way though, it’s a good movie

[@thesourpatchkidd579]

You missed a sin for his plan- Snow says that Salt is supposed to be the fall guy, but that only works if she is in the room when he does all that shit, and since he wasn't going to let her in (and had no way of knowing she'd be there) he only had a shot at using her as the fall guy because she broke in. Aside from the president still being very much alive.

[@carlylemakeup]

The different versions of this movie made think I was imagining some scenes 😂 like I remembered they drowned her husband? but this vid shows they shot him

"This guy looks like a member of the film crew" - that's accurate, however, I got the outfit direct from our Langley advisor who said "the guy driving her out of NK would look like a senior NGO official, the kind we see every day on the streets of Karachi." Literally told me what to wear. Scarf was mine, which I wore one on the streets of Kashmir to keep dust out of my mouth. Later in the film I'm driving them away (flashback before the bus scene) and nearly ran into the giant military truck. Would have been epic.
