Review For Safe House |
The photography and editing are state-of-the-Bourne-art exciting - breathless chases, brutal, blurry fights and unnerving shootouts. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
The film's super-saturated look and quick cutting are mere substitutes for any real sense of intrigue. Bruce Diones-New Yorker
This is a naive director with so little insight you wonder what comic books he's been reading. Rex Reed-New York Observer
I won't deny that the movie hooked me with sheer brute energy and dragged me along with it most of the way. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
Nothing really new here, but the cast is first-rate. Richard Roeper-Richard Roeper.com
"Safe House" has just enough bone density to emit some satisfying cracks and pops whenever the action gets going. Rafer Guzman-Newsday
Everybody fights and everybody lies in a thriller that tries to glamorize spies while demonizing their profession. Kenneth R. Morefield-Christianity Today
With a small amount of tweaking, Safe House could have been a knockout thriller. Instead, we have a film that shares the same notions as my school report cards: ' ...has potential, just needs to focus'. Adam Ross-The Aristocrat
["Safe House"] becomes a prime example of why no matter how many chases and other action sequences they may throw into the mix, they can't even begin to make up for the more important elements. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com
Safe House has a cast full of actors who would make any director blush with confidence, but each and every one of them is used as scenery for the action scenes. Benjo Colautti-We Got This Covered
It doesn't say much about Safe House that I can only recall a grand total of about 2 minutes, and those are mostly moments that enjoy good quality character time rather than any flash-bang excitement. Matt Looker-TheShiznit.co.uk
Denzel and Reynolds keep the bulk of the film fresh, gritty and intense. Justin Craig-FoxNews.com
one of those spy thrillers that isn't nearly as thrilling, complex or engaging as the filmmakers think. Jeffrey Lyles-Lyles' Movie Files
It's a flashy film, but in the end, Safe House is a dull, lifeless, noisy bore. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
Safe House is fairly predictable at times, but it also boasts brutally intense, edge-of-your seat action and great star performances from Reynolds and Washington. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD
Ultimately, it dashes into so many close-ups of carnage and neckbreaking, it skids scuzzily close to spy-snuff. Call this Bourne-porn; Safe House needed a safe word. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
This is Ryan Reynolds best performance that I've seen since Van Wilder and the wonderful, iconic, legendary Denzel Washington getting screen time and playing the 'badass character' that we love to see him play. Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show
You'll feel bad in the morning for having spent time with it. Rob Humanick-Projection Booth
If you're craving a bit of action or just want to clear a few internal blockages in your circulatory system, 'Safe House' will suffice. Cameron Williams-The Popcorn Junkie
Wall to wall action and all the betrayals and bullets to play the CIA spy game with an exceptional cast. Just don't let an inventive story get in the way. Jules Brenner-Cinema Signals
A frenetic action thriller whose chases, gunplay and hand-to-hand combat flash by in such a furious blur that the viewer barely has time to register the plot's shortcomings. Jason Best-Movie Talk
It moves like a thoroughbred. Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray
If you like an explosive, action-packed game of high-stakes cat-and-mouse that keeps you guessing until the very end, you'll love skipping along to the slam-bang surprises of Safe House. Neil Pond-American Profile
