A fun action yarn which could've been great

"Remember rule number one: you are responsible for your house guest. I'm your house guest."

Safe House is a familiar-feeling action yarn about conspiracy, corruption and splintered idealism, essentially a grab-bag of elements from various recent spy thrillers. It's bolstered, though, by a strong cast and a director who has infused the clichéd narrative with immense energy and verve... read more

I heard some bad reviews about this movie ..WOW! They are so wrong.

This is definitely a rare MUST see movie that is just filled with non-stop action and also has a very intriguing and well done plot and cast. Movies these days just seem to be repititions more or less of each other and other movies, but this one was different and had a great cast, acting, and just a very well done s... read more

Bourne Again: a Safe House review

“It's a no-brainer that films such as this are box office gold. The bar for realism and content of the upgraded spy action-thriller was set by the Bourne films and this echoes perfectly. The critics, for some reason, did not care for Safe House nearly as much as fans did. Of course, we all know why that is...the critics are noted for making bad calls where great movies are concerned and trying to lead potential viewers astray with undue praise for boring pap - time and again.

Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds give this film something that the Bourne movies never had - two, exceptionally charismatic and capable leads for the price of one. Washington has proven to all how skilled he is at bringing to life dramatic and action-oriented roles. Reynolds, for his part, is just coming i” read more

My Movie Diary: 2/13 (status: closed) (65 movies items)

"2/27/13 This was quite similar to the Bourne films in essence, pacing and action but, I have to say, that I enjoyed this even more. Washington and Reynolds are perfect together and Safe House is a safe bet for a damned fine watch! My review: http://www.listal.com/viewentry/3903506"

When Critics and Audiences Disagree (141 movies items)

"Critics: 53% Audiences: 65% Consensus: Though Safe House is anchored by strong performances from Washington and Reynolds, they're let down by a thin script and choppily edited action sequences that betray the film's unfortunate lack of imagination."
