Safe House




One thing you can expect from a Denzel Washington movie is an "A List" script.

Safe House has a good script however you would have to suspend believe and realize that CIA agents are buffoons to buy into what happens.

The movie is about a young CIA agent who is tasked with looking after a fugitive in a safe house. But when the safe house is attacked, he finds himself on the run with his charge.

Throughout the movie bullets are flying all over the place and what happens at the end is ridiculous due to the fact of how intelligent Denzel Washington character is in the movie.

The always interesting Vera Farmiga makes an appearance as a House agent in a role reminiscent of her performance in the movie Source Code. She is not very smart in this movie so don't expect to see her usual wit and savvy which she has exuded in other flicks.


Verdict:

Very predictable but solid performances from Denzel and Reynolds.
