Salt : Russian spies are back in fashion!!!!!!!!

The film is not made to be taken seriously, you can not do this even if you try really really hard.
The film is full of:
- Bad Russians and all of them are spies
- Russians who killed president Kennedy
- Good Russians and all of them are pro USA
- Bad Russian accents. You had to laugh when even Daniel Olbrychski who spoke perfectly good Russian had a very BAD Russian accent when he spoke English (and by BAD I don’t mean thick, I mean – I haven’t heard any of Russian people I have met speak like this in real life)
- Russians drinking vodka after killing a man with automatic guns
- Russians chess champions
The film had no Russian cliché unturned. I have seriously tried to think this was some kind of parody/spoof thing but I don’t think it was.
What the film didn’t have , however:
- Any coherency of the plot. Everyone assumes Angelina is a Russian spy? Why? I tried really hard to understand but the only explanation for me was that she has blond hair , braided in a a plat (this is a Russian way to wear your hair, right) ?
Anyways, I had a good laugh with Mr.Alexander , so the film was good for something?

Wow, you seem to have some bad luck on the highway? Accidents terrify me because their just so random and usually unpreventable.

I think M1 is one of the busier highways, that is all. The case with two boys was horrendous, though. They were only 7 , I think. Why were they wondering alone near the motorway????

Ugh, stuff like that really upsets me. The most upsetting crimes/accidents to me are ones where children are involved.
