above. Probably by success they mean the prifot made, I haven’t read any reviews since I don’t even know what the story is about. I’d like to add something, if the general outcome is more positive than Salt maybe it’s because people are just so critical of Angelina Jolie. I don’t mean to diss the film or Julia Roberts in any way- I enjoy her films- but people always nitpick when it comes to her and her movies, her parenting, her weight It’s usually like people are searching for something to bash without thinking. Like I said, I don’t know what the majority thinks about the film or how much it has earned, but if EPL earned more or less as much as Salt and is called a bigger success, it could be because of trying to be critical. Just my two cents Don’t want to offend any fan of the film or Julia Roberts, hope I’ve managed to point out that I wasn’t referring to the film or its quality at all. Naturally it could be a better quality film than Salt, I’m no film critic.
