Review of Safe House (2012)

By John Defore (1,351) for Washington Post (9,851) on 10 Feb 2012

Swedish director Daniel Espinosa isn't as adept at chase scenes as Bourne director Paul Greengrass: We sometimes lose track of who's supposed…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Kyle Smith (1,916) for New York Post (6,650) on 10 Feb 2012

Safe House may strike you as a brilliant movie, provided you've seen fewer than, say, 10 spy thrillers. I've seen more than 10 spy thrillers…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Liz Braun (961) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 10 Feb 2012

An adrenaline rush of a movie about a novice CIA agent and the rogue agent he's charged with minding in Cape Town, South Africa…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Peter Travers (3,602) for Rolling Stone (4,035) on 10 Feb 2012

Worse, Safe House asks us to believe that Ryan Reynolds can outclass Denzel Washington in the art of being a hard-ass. Not on this planet, baby…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Kimberly Gadette (432) for Doddle (184) on 10 Feb 2012

The movie's tag line states No one is safe. Agreed. No one is safe, not from this tepid Bourne-wannabe film. Not even Denzel…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Marc Savlov (2,019) for Austin Chronicle (7,653) on 09 Feb 2012

Director Espinosa stages the endless action with a tremendous flair that recalls John Woo's grittier moments, and cinematographer Oliver Wood,…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Steven Rea (1,872) for Philadelphia Inquirer (3,920) on 09 Feb 2012

Safe House rockets along, taking a familiar formula and making it work - hard…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Kenneth Turan (2,323) for Los Angeles Times (12,977) on 09 Feb 2012

Though Safe House may be too violent and nihilistic for everyone's taste, it does have several crackerjack action sequences…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Glenn Heath Jr. (311) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 09 Feb 2012

It'd be unwise to dismiss Safe House as merely a clone of Tony Scott's manically inclined vision…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Robert Levin (797) for amNewYork (559) on 09 Feb 2012

Denzel Washington is one of those rare actors blessed with enough natural charisma that he can repeat things and still entertain us…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Matt Neal (458) for The Standard (252) on 09 Feb 2012

SAFE House is like your average brick garage - it's solid, sturdy and does the job, but ultimately it's nothing special…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By M. E. Russell (386) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 09 Feb 2012

There are several things to enjoy here. The use of motel service-industry code words by the safe-house staff is dryly funny…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Devin Faraci (498) for Birth.Movies.Death. (774) on 09 Feb 2012

Safe House will have you on the edge of your seat - so you can spring out of it the second the credits roll…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Mark Dujsik (2,093) for Mark Reviews Movies (2,037) on 09 Feb 2012

We concentrate on its holes of logic and the unnecessary redundancies of its storytelling because, without them, the movie is habitually commonplace…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Dustin Putman (2,479) for TheFilmFile.com (2,314) on 09 Feb 2012

Performing as if he's been perpetually hooked up to a Thorazine drip, Denzel Washington looks like he needs a bed, not a camera thrown in his face…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Tony Medley (1,109) for Tolucan Times (639) on 09 Feb 2012

Wasington and Reynolds give fine performances in this tense thriller shot in cinéma vérité with a plethora of quick cuts that could make…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Nell Minow (2,357) for Beliefnet (937) on 09 Feb 2012

Denzel Washington is the vodka and Ryan Reynolds is the orange juice in this spy story with top-notch action, middle-notch story, and bottom-notch…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Susan Granger (2,214) for SSG Syndicate (1,551) on 09 Feb 2012

Smashing, crashing and nonsensical, it reveals CIA corruption at its very core…

Review of Safe House (2012)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 09 Feb 2012
