Safe




















2.5/5

I dunno. It was okay. If you're looking for over the top action to hold you over until The Expendable's 2, then this might do it. But for a movie that glorified itself in that, it explained itself too much. Every other line was blatant exposition. The lines that weren't blatant exposition felt forced, like there was a cue card behind the camera. But I can't lie. Some scenes in this were actually a lot of fun. You can tell that this wasn't a thrown together attempt to make money. The director really took time to make this his, and it shows. But at the same time, the blatant ripoff of the Mission Impossible theme music, the really terrible one liner (GOD it was bad), the shaky cam, the obnoxious character types, it all adds up to feel generic and a bit of a let down to any diehard action flick fans. Still, its a nice buffer before The Avengers!
