DEVIL

five people trapped in a lift one is the devil went to see this with fairly low expectations i don't trust 15 rated horror movies although i have been pleasantly surprised in the past but as it turned out this is more thriller than horror its competently acted by a bunch of b list stars and well directed some of the plot devices were a bit hokey eg the superstitious mexican security guard but never the less the devil was a character in this so technically still a horror but when reveled the devil is frankly not that interesting and the inevitable third act twist is also pretty low rent not the worst movie a mediocre thriller at best at worst a luke warm horror.

SALT

Evelyn salt is highly respected CIA operative ,then one day a Russian defector walks in out of the blue he warns of a plot conceived at the time of the cold war to kill the Russian premier on American soil,thus perpetrating a world war and then tells her it is she who will kill him ,she then flees stating that she is only concerned for the safety of her husband ,her boss refuses to believe shes a double agent or a mole but her actions  begin to raise doubts.this thriller would have been better in the 80,s when there was a cold war,that said Jolie plays her role with gusto as do the supporting cast well shot ,good set pieces although its all a bit to slick and predictable and it thinks its a lot smarter than it is although its never boring
