Review of Safe House (2012)

By Robbie Collin (1,612) for Daily Telegraph (UK) (2,495) on 23 Feb 2012

There's much to be said for nuts-and-bolts action thrillers when they are competently assembled. But this one is falling apart at the fastenings…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Nigel Andrews (1,359) for Financial Times (1,822) on 23 Feb 2012

Safe House will never be over, we think, as we watch Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds rush around Johannesburg and points east, west, north, south…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Rich Cline (3,056) for Shadows on the Wall (2,096) on 23 Feb 2012

It's sharply well-made and acted, but nothing about it remotely scratches beneath the surface…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Robert Roten (1,865) for Laramie Movie Scope (1,865) on 22 Feb 2012

There isn't anything all that unusual or surprising about it, but it is very well crafted…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Matthew Turner (2,508) for ViewLondon (2,339) on 22 Feb 2012

Enjoyable, fast-paced thriller with terrific action sequences and strong performances from the two leads, but it's also slightly too long and…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Elliott Noble (448) for Sky Cinema (1,726) on 22 Feb 2012

Thankfully, any bumps in the plot are steamrollered under director Espinosa's procession of breakneck chases, chaotic shoot-outs, and convincingly…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By James Kendrick (1,607) for Q Network Film Desk (1,607) on 22 Feb 2012

Has energy and vigor to spare, but it still feels too off-the-shelf--prepackaged action and all-too-familiar riffs on the ugliness of behind-the-scenes…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Tim Brayton (2,283) for Antagony & Ecstasy (1,911) on 21 Feb 2012

Too standard in every way to count as a failure on any level…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Nigel Floyd (230) for Time Out (7,510) on 21 Feb 2012

While director Espinosa hones in on the ambiguous battle between Weston's idealism and Frost's cynicism, British cinematographer Oliver Wood…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 20 Feb 2012

The powerful pairing of Washington and Reynolds as the cynical, idealistic agents respectively has plenty of promise, although the decision…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Andrea Chase (1,182) for Killer Movie Reviews (1,182) on 20 Feb 2012

A curiously subdued film relying more on the charisma of its leading men, Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, and on psychology rather than…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Kim Newman (791) for Empire Magazine (3,326) on 20 Feb 2012

Tolerably exciting spycraft, but stuck with a see-through plot. Washington and Reynolds are watchable, but not exactly stretched by these roles…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Tony Macklin (521) for tonymacklin.net (414) on 18 Feb 2012

Why would you cast Denzel Washington, and then cut his performance to ribbons…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Matthew Toomey (680) for ABC Radio Brisbane (680) on 17 Feb 2012

It's an insane, relatively predictable storyline and you'd think they'd be able to weave more humour into the mix…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By John Wirt (638) for Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA) (638) on 17 Feb 2012

A brutal, bloody action picture that follows a familiar corruption-in-high places theme…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 16 Feb 2012

Despite a familiar plot, the solid acting and first-rate action scenes combine to make a movie that, while perhaps not terribly original, is…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Robert Denerstein (1,148) for Movie Habit (892) on 16 Feb 2012

Action-oriented blur of movie relies on Denzel Washington to hold it together…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Rick Kisonak (485) for Seven Days (657) on 16 Feb 2012

If there's an iota of artistry or originality within a mile of this mess, fledgling writer David Guggenheim and director Daniel Espinosa, here…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Peter Keough (994) for Boston Phoenix (1,372) on 15 Feb 2012

Reynolds shows range as the tyro out of his depth, and Washington's mere presence grants credibility to implausible scenes…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Lori Hoffman (553) for Atlantic City Weekly (553) on 14 Feb 2012

Thanks to the excellence of Washington and Reynolds, Safe House provides the type of enjoyable performances that allow us to forgive the by-the-book…
