i don't see the movie(it's in the end of august in my country) but the trailer was generic ,Jolie's wigs were awful and she's too gaunt to be credible in my opinion

It's going to KILL at the box office.

Read it and weep!

Drew's review is spot on; this is one of the silliest movies I've seen in a while.

The reason Drew didn't talk about the action sequences is that they are completely generic and forgettable. No amount of handicam could save how dull they were. And there is one sequence ripped straight from "The Bourne Ultimatum."

Not even going to get into the climax which keeps going on and on thanks to computers programs that are constantly loading and authenticating.

The whole movie is a buildup to a sequel that will never happen.

The Playlist loves a good popcorn movie, but this one really isn't it.

(One of the main selling points) Or about Jolie's performance? (the other main selling point) "undercooked, half-assed and could use a whole lot more seasoning" could apply to your review as well.

It's a pure popcorn movie guys, lighten up.

I think what you are missing is the implied quotations surrounding the third paragraph detailing the woman-specific trickery that Angelina is forced to enact.

Also: what is with all the people reading The Playlist, and obviously doing it enough that they have picked up on a general sarcastic, critical tone, and then getting invested enough in their disapproval of this tone, not to stop reading the site but, instead, writing a comment making note of this tone.

Oh, and @originalityisourfriend, it's "your", not "you're".

This writer has some other issues besides not liking this movie – the review is just too over the top with venom to be credible.

2012…
Salt..
Next up is some video game adaption???
He either needs a new agent or has a shit load of debt to pay off!!

Noyce doing cheesy 90s action Noyce meets Bourne with terrible results. Not sure what Angelina Jolie was thinking.

What is this world coming to?

Its not like Russia still sends agents to live undercover in the USA today.

Do you even read the news?
