|  New movie list Safe A second-rate cage fighter on the mixed martial arts circuit, Luke Wright lives a numbing life of routine beatings and chump change...until the day he blows a rigged fight. Wanting to make an example of him, the Russian Mafia murders his family and banishes him from his life forever, leaving Luke to wander the streets of New York destitute, haunted by guilt, and tormented by the knowledge that he will always be watched, and anyone he develops a relationship with will also be killed.   		  			 But when he witnesses a frightened twelve-year-old Chinese girl, Mei, being pursued by the same gangsters who killed his wife, Luke impulsively jumps to action...and straight into the heart of a deadly high-stakes war. -- (C) Lionsgate

| Review For Safe  | 
| The thoroughly mediocre Safe provides little more than an excuse for Statham to do what Statham does better than anyone else: look stern while punishing bad guys. That's just not enough. Ian Buckwalter-The Atlantic
 
 It's like another "Transporter'' installment trying to be something slightly more - and not quite delivering the goods.
 Tom Russo-Boston Globe
 
 Despite some impressively gritty street-level action, Safe plays it far too safe.
 Stephen Dalton-Hollywood Reporter
 
 Yeah, "Safe" is a long way from perfect. But rented, in a few months, it'll go great with a six-pack and a hold-the-anchovies special.
 Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
 
 The plot first strains and then assassinates credulity, while Yakin's handling of the action/mayhem runs the gamut from the merely dull to what-the-hell's-going-on.
 Rick Groen-Globe and Mail
 
 This whip-smart, brutally funny and gleefully nasty film is one of the year's best surprises.
 Rafer Guzman-Newsday
 
 It ain't too smart, it ain't too sophisticated, but it does have its charm and is entertaining enough for what it is: an action-packed, B-movie experience.
 Kofi Outlaw-ScreenRant
 
 Character development and storyline are treated as inconveniences to be tossed aside at the earliest opportunity.
 Mary Clare Waireri-Fan The Fire
 
 Safe is an exceptional Jason Statham B-movie that managed to sneak through the cracks during its theatrical release.
 Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered
 
 Perhaps one of these days Statham will stop making the same movie over and over and try something new.
 Jeff Beck-Examiner.com
 
 Editing is wonky, and the story leaves much to be desired, but Jason Statham genuinely shines in this rugged, violent action-thriller, with a body count that rivals classic John Woo.
 R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD
 
 Jason Statham's latest actionpalooza "Safe" is unsuitably hilarious, although that's probably not the film's intended reaction.
 Justin Craig-FoxNews.com
 
 Overcomes its formulaic concept and delivers the best damned film of Jason Statham's career.
 William Bibbiani-CraveOnline
 
 [Jason] Statham blasts his way through his biggest body count in this satisfying, one-note action film designed very specifically for Statham fans who know his acting limits as well as he does.
 Jim Schembri-3AW
 
 Has a distinctly old-school Steven Seagal-circa-Out for Justice vibe.
 Aaron Yap-Flicks.co.nz
 
 The usually stone-faced Statham actually emotes a bit here and there. You kinda get a nice warm vibe right before he kills about 20 to 30 people. Then, repeat.
 Paul Chambers-CNNRadio
 
 Had the product (and Safe is, above all else, Hollywood product) reached a little higher, its title might have seemed coolly ironic. Instead, it inadvertently represents truth in advertising.
 Simon Foster-Screen-Space
 
 Easily one of the best action films I've seen in a decade and firmly cements Statham's status as this generation's coolest, kick-tail action megastar.
 Jeffrey Lyles-Lyles' Movie Files
 
 When your audiences doesn't care if the child lives or dies, you know your movie's got problems.
 Tom Clift-Moviedex
 
 Statham's character is complicated and interesting, and the '70s feel comes from a sense of hopelessness in the face of corruption.
 Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly
 
 Not only does Safe feature bone crunching, nut busting, gun popping action as dispensed by one of the genre's great practitioners, but it does so with fresh energy and creativity that is enough to distract from its more stale elements.
 Matthew Pejkovic-Matt's Movie Reviews
 
 I want and action film to be bad-ass, well directed, and to give me an adrenaline rush. And on those terms, this film more than succeeds
 Austin Kennedy-Sin Magazine
 
 Like so many action films these days the film is over-edited and under-plotted, and we've seen Statham's tough guy character many times before.
 David Stratton-At the Movies (Australia)
 
 In any language this is exhilarating stuff.
 Ed Whitfield-The Ooh Tray
 
 Safe is so ham-fistedly BAD on every conceivable level that it bordered on entertaining.
 Blake Howard-2UE That Movie Show
 
 It's the imposing Statham's badass grimace and combat acumen that primarily elevate Safe above your average direct-to-video genre work
 Nick Schager-Slant Magazine
