Salt

ActionMysteryThriller

Directed by Phillip Noyce

As a CIA officer, Evelyn Salt swore an oath to duty, honor, and country. Her loyalty will be tested when a Russian defector accuses her of being a Russian sleeper spy. She goes on the run, using all her skills and years of experience as a covert operative to elude capture, protect her husband, and stay one step ahead of her colleagues at the CIA. Her efforts to prove her innocence only serve to cast doubt on her… From TMDB

    NYC and MPLS may be apples and oranges, but the narrative element in all this matters: Seeing Mamdani crush it feels like that moment in a movie where they’re like “wait a second… the zombies are allergic to SALT!” And then you see a montage of people all over the world grabbing salt shakers.

    The genius move for the Salt Path movie would be for Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs to also star in a dramatisation of the *real* Salt Path story. Proper Hearts of Darkness / Apocalypse Now stuff.

    The Maiden And Her Monster is a sapphic retelling of the golem story, Ring Shout deserves to be a blockbuster movie, The Salt Grows Heavy made me go “Damnit, I wish I’d thought of that!” and Bat-Eater and Other Names for Cora Zeng is, I am reliably told, one of the best horror novels of the year.

Until recently, The Salt Path was a massive hit book and film, with Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs, when an investigative article cast serious doubt on this supposedly true story. Having seen it before the news broke, I reassess the film in light of it. youtu.be/aXeVLWUW8GI

    My ONLY qualm with this movie (it’s literally my favorite movie) is when the Russian scientist suggests that keeping him in water brought up to salinity with TABLE SALT will work. Guess they didn’t have instant ocean in the 60s. Give the gal a refractometer at least.

    If you ever meet Angelina Jolie, it's very important to throw handfuls of salt at her (Morton preferred) to show you appreciate her starring performance in the 2010 movie SALT. She's been known to get very upset if she shows up somewhere and there's insufficient salinity.
