Safe

I’m a huge fan of Jason Statham from Crank and the Transporter.
This movie is not one of his best.
The story is about a young girl whose memory holds a priceless code, finds herself pursued by Triads, mobs, and corrupt cops. Jason Statham takes them all on to save the girl.

Nothing new here and the story is weak. What’s needed is less story and more action however the body count is high. There is also an attempt of a GQ showdown (Jason and a bad guy with similar skills dressed in suits ready to fight). This is a male bonding flick not a date movie. Hopefully Jason will start getting better scripts otherwise he will end up like Steven Segal and Van Damme making Direct to Video movies five years from now when he turns 50.

Verdict: You are better off watching his 2007 movie with Jet Li called War. It’s similar and is a well directed movie.
