Review of Safe House (2012) by Duke W — 31 May 2014
Sadly, a blown opportunity seems to have occurred with this movie. While the movie is not altogether bad, it could have been a lot better. A fairly incredible cast and reasonable story were brought together with reasonably good production quality.
Unfortunately, the writing did not deliver. The employ of Denzel Washington was wasted as his character could have been so much more interesting, entertaining, or engaging had the writing been provided to bring the most out of his character.
Ryan Reynolds did a fairly decent job. Again, really good cast that just was not turned loose to produce something really special here. If you like action, i.e. lots of chases, then you'll likely enjoy this movie.
