Critic Reviews for Safe House
All Critics (185) | Top Critics (36) | Fresh (99) | Rotten (86) | DVD (2)
The film's super-saturated look and quick cutting are mere substitutes for any real sense of intrigue.
While director Espinosa hones in on the ambiguous battle between Weston's idealism and Frost's cynicism, British cinematographer Oliver Wood - who filmed the last two Bourne movies - shoots the hell out of everything.
This is a naive director with so little insight you wonder what comic books he's been reading.
I won't deny that the movie hooked me with sheer brute energy and dragged me along with it most of the way.
Nothing really new here, but the cast is first-rate.
"Safe House" has just enough bone density to emit some satisfying cracks and pops whenever the action gets going.
Audience Reviews for Safe House
Decent if typical Hollywood action thriller with by now obligatory rah-rah underpinnings. By the numbers. Picked out the surprise twist ending bad guy in under 2 minutes. The cast simply needs to show up and be charming, and this much they manage. There's no real teeth here though.
Super Reviewer
Eh. S'okay.
Super Reviewer
A decent action/thriller with a few twists. You know you are always going to get a good performance out of Washington. Maybe it could have done with a bit more action, it did seem to slow down quite a bit in parts. Overall though a good entertaining film if not anything new or groundbreaking.
