Opened February 10, 2012
Runtime:1 hr. 55 min.
Safe House Trailer
What was the movie about?
Safe House is the story about a frustrated inactive agent, Matt Weston played by Ryan Reynolds. Weston is a "housekeeper" assigned to a low-profile safe house in Cape Town, who dreams of being a full-fledged agent. Weston gets an opportunity when his first occupant is the most wanted and one of CIA's best operatives who turned rogue, Tobin Frost played by Denzel Washington. As soon as Frost is brought in for interrogation, chaos erupts and mercenaries attack the safe house. Things look grim and Weston takes measures and barely escapes with Frost. As Weston searches for answers to who attacked, both are hunted aggressively by a party that will stop at nothing to kill them.

Why watch this Movie?
From beginning to end, this was a non-stop action movie. Ryan Reynolds performed admirably in his acting and fight scenes. Denzel Washington was truly entertaining and amazing to watch, to some extent equalling his great performance as a bad guy in Training Day.

Was the movie worth seeing?
I truly enjoyed this movie, it had a good balance, but was heavy on action, which I don't mind at all. I truly enjoy movies with a lot of action when they have great fight scenes, gun play and car chases, which this movie delivered. A must watch if a fan of Denzel Washington, Ryan Reynolds and action movies for you will find some level of entertainment.

My Impression Score: 3 out 4 smiles - worth watching!

  1. It’s a serviceable thriller that should satisfy those late winter cravings from action fans who haven’t seen enough bullets and fists flying onscreen. Nothing special but Reynolds and Washington make it better than it has any right to be. Good review. Check out mine when you can.
