Сomments

Pedestrian thriller starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds. Reynolds has been muted to suit the tone of this film, but he works best when he's able to fire off some snappy one-liners and get manic. I'm tired of seeing Ryan Reynolds shoehorned into these straight-laced dullard roles. He isn't the type. He started out as a comedian and he needs to be given more roles that allow him to wisecrack. Hell, he should have been cast as John McClane's son in A Good Day to Die Hard, they really missed the boat with that film by casting the wooden Jai Courtney. Okay, off my soapbox about Ryan Reynolds and his lackluster career. Is there anything good about Safe House? No, not really. It's pretty boring actually. There are zero memorable action scenes, the characters are unlikeable because they're so one-note and uninteresting, and the plot is routine as hell.

6/10 great action though!

Decent film, could use more depth in the plot, but makes up for it with some great action sequences. While Denzel Washington could have skyped his performance in, Ryan Reynolds gave the real stand-out performance in this film. It's great to see him coming into his own as a male lead.

Absolutely top class entertainment. Denzel is always good value for money and Reynolds (whom I usually find rather annoying)is also very good. Thanks to Jason Bourne the fight scenes are gritty and realistic, and the action is brilliantly executed. The only flaw in this film is the plot, which kind of fizzles out and leaves plenty of unanswered questions and the supposed twist at the end was pretty obvious from about fives minutes in. But, all in all, it's a pretty good movie. 7/10
