A good action movie, I was entertained the whole film.
| 7/10 | jaguar-soul@ - 49 reviews 25.6.2012 - age: 26-35 |
The acting is great as expected from these 2 actors, they keep you on the edge throughout the movie, plot is good... just one small criticism, Denzel mumbles a lot in this one and sometimes hard to understand what is being said!

Great Movie. Lots of running that made me really tired but had great action thou.
| 8/10 | shazjoao@ - 1728 reviews 8.6.2012 |
Ten just for the acting, and then the story is pretty original and grabbed me pretty hard - my guess is that there was not enough bang bang for the bang bang crowd for it not to be more highly rated, but still has lots of bang bang.

Great movie. I am a Denzel fan and this movie did not disappoint. Full packed action, the story line was great and the end unexpected.
| 8/10 | georgiana.stroe@ - 84 reviews 27.5.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Thank you again Denzel et al for another high calibre, exciting, emotionally varied & entertaining experience. Just what my husband & I go to the movies for & will be talking about it for a while yet.
| 9/10 | anitascript@ - first review 26.5.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Not bad but predictable. Plenty of decent action scenes but there's no real plot twists and you're basically just watching people get chased and shot at.
| 6/10 | parker_2@ - 297 reviews 26.5.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Pretty good thriller. Denzel is absolutely excellent as always. It keeps you on your seat all the way through. Well done.
| 7/10 | sacoca_@ - 653 reviews 25.5.2012 - age: 26-35 |
I enjoyed this movie, had some good action, and kept you thinking... Love Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds... worth watching.
| 7/10 | clramjam1@ - 7 reviews 23.5.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Some great scenes, some great writing. Some cheesy scenes, some cheesy writing. The lead actors do a very good job though.
| 7/10 | captaindash@ - 11 reviews 23.5.2012 - age: 26-35 |
I love the movie, very good action movie, go see it!
| 10/10 | quinquan72@ - first review 19.5.2012 - age: 36-49 |
I enjoyed this Bourne-like formula movie, which featured excellent acting and a plethora of chase scenes and gunfire where everyone dies but the hero. Like many others, though, I was distracted by the shakey camera. Not as good as the Bourne series, but well worth seeing.
| 7/10 | gnortsmra_luap@ - 3 reviews 16.5.2012 - age: 50+ |
Some good action. But plot is adding a Safe House to the many movies like 16 Blocks.
| 7/10 | clifforda@ - 92 reviews 24.4.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Wickeder. Very well crafted movie. Them Term is gritty not Extreme Violence.
| 9/10 | mavrockhed@ - first review 24.4.2012 - age: 26-35 |
I went in with no hope at all. I loved it! The simple creative editing and the cinematography by Oliver Wood are amazing. It is also a well construct scenario.
| 8/10 | olanguedoc@ - first review 19.4.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Was a good movie about espionage and had tonnes of action. Another stellar performance from Denzil in this film!
| 8/10 | gman129@ - 32 reviews 18.4.2012 - age: 26-35 |
The final of the movie is really good... The movie brings us to think that sometimes we have to know a little bit more the people before to judge them...
| 8/10 | pl@ - first review 16.4.2012 - age: 18-25 |
Went in with high hopes... I was so disappointed. The story was not developed... The characters were not engaging... PASS...
| 4/10 | marcberg123@ - first review 13.4.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Denzel is great and Ryan was believable. This movie is a whole lot of testostorone. I was however kept intrigued throughout and enjoyed the movie overall.
| 7/10 | viewer@ - 2 reviews 6.4.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Too much action, story was lacking, would not pay for this movie, if tickets were free, sure.
| 5/10 | popcorn_2003@ - 3 reviews 1.4.2012 - age: 18-25 |
It was fantabulous movie I recommended for you to see it. It is worth it.
| 8/10 | eng.425@ - first review 1.4.2012 - age: 18-25 |
Pretty bad movie. Yes Denzel was really good but the camera was way to shaky and I'm very used to shaky cam. The action was bland, story was unoriginal and twists were just stupid. Kind of long also...
| 5/10 | actionmaniac@ - 37 reviews 29.3.2012 - age: 13-17 |
Good action thriller... kept me engaged and guessing. Nice turn by Ryan Reynolds... Denzel Washington, Brendan Gleeson, Vera Farmiga... all excellent as always! Tinker Tailor on meth!
| 7/10 | kymess@ - 7 reviews 25.3.2012 |
Very good performance of actors and lots of action!
| 9/10 | khaciane@ - first review 24.3.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Thoroughly entertaining movie. Well worth going to see. I like Denzel Washington and he didn't disappoint me in this movie. Well acted although the plot is a bit far-fetched. Go see it you'll enjoy it.
| 7/10 | viger@ - 5 reviews 24.3.2012 - age: 50+ |
The movie is action packed, frequent action!!! :)
| 8/10 | jordanmahdi@ - 44 reviews 24.3.2012 - age: 13-17 |
I'd say this is one of the best films of 2012. The story is a bit simplistic and somewhat unoriginal (we've seen so many CIA spy movies in recent history), but what really makes this film exceptional is Denzel's performance and Ryan Reynolds in the supporting role. Exceptional acting on both their parts. Denzel is one of the few remaining actors who can execute a role with surpassing authenticity.
| 9/10 | adil_socialtheory@ - 31 reviews 24.3.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Loved this movie Denzel and Ryan Reynolds were great together! Denzel is just an AWESOME actor anyway, so it was bound to be GREAT!!!
| 8/10 | quillarolls@ - first review 23.3.2012 - age: 36-49 |
This movie started out good and then all it was, was gunfire non-stop. Not a great story line, disappointed in Denzel's acting.
| 5/10 | pineau9@ - first review 21.3.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Good story line and entertaining, great acting by both lead actors.
| 7/10 | bettyboop_1958@ - 2 reviews 20.3.2012 - age: 50+ |
Not the best of Mr. Denzel Washington but still worth seeing.
| 7/10 | mkahmady@ - 11 reviews 17.3.2012 - age: 18-25 |
A lot of violence, a lot of gun shots, not much to say. I love both actors but I wasn't captivated by the chase.
| 6/10 | lacartearlequin@ - 20 reviews 17.3.2012 - age: 50+ |
This was a good movie worth seeing, worthy of a 8/10. The only thing I did not like about it was that some parts were suspense building, but felt incomplete or did not have enough action to meet the suspense. Otherwise, had some very good and real action scenes, in one of the accidents, it seemed as if they actually crashed a car with real people in it, and the car chases also seemed real! Denzel was pretty cool as well, and the other main character made the movie at the end, you watch it you will know what I mean.

Wow! This was a quadruple hit on the bad-things-about-movies list. Namely: No story, poor editing, feeble acting, repetitive chase scenes. The first twenty-thirty minutes of this movie were completely unnecessary. In fact the movie should have started when the two lead actors first met, and not before. This flick reminded me of the movie “the International” for the same bad reasons. The director supposes that if he is murky enough with a story, then the audience will be intrigued or interested. As always, of course, the bad guys with their state-of- the-art guns can blow out every window of a car or residence without leaving a scratch on the good guys. At one point the good guy is driving a CANARY YELLOW truck backwards, in a narrow roadway but is absolutely invisible to the bad guys (who look strangely “not unlike” Al-Qaeda terrorists) The acting is tired; the action is riddled with hand-held cameras ad-nausea. There are far too many holes in this movie’s plot or lack thereof. And for an action movie that was 120 minutes long there may have been 20 minutes of action. And finally at the end of the movie when things are explained to the audience (In standard action-movie style), you can’t understand a word the leads are saying!! You would have needed closed-captioning to figure out the whole point of the movie. There should be a warning to audiences for this kind of drivel. Like the rides at the Ex: you need to be this “stupid” to enter the show. (And have and IQ gauge pointing to zero...) I was going to walk out but I was too numb. If you plan on attending this movie, bring Javex for your eyes to ease the pain.

This movie has lots of excitement and action, very good.
| 10/10 | nsankar@ - first review 15.3.2012 - age: 36-49 |
Loved the story untill the end. Pretty good performance from both main actors.
| 10/10 | manelfern@ - 22 reviews 15.3.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Everything I think an action movie should have and a little bit more. Not earth shattering but the best I have seen in a while. Good acting as expected and an above average story.
| 7/10 | ggriff1959@ - 35 reviews 14.3.2012 - age: 50+ |
Denzel did it again! Well as usual. Lots of action. Both actors played their role very well. I enjoyed the movie till the end.
| 9/10 | lilrickd@ - 5 reviews 14.3.2012 - age: 26-35 |
Great movie, actors perfect for their roles. Camera action was fine. Wasn't disappointed, was what the trailer showed.
| 8/10 | kds@ - 4 reviews 13.3.2012 - age: 50+ |
What else can I say other than... Awesome!! A must see movie :)
| 9/10 | johannenkirk@ - 15 reviews 13.3.2012 - age: 36-49 |
This is a good movie, a little confusing at times but worth seeing. Don't listen to the reviews saying the camera was too shakey or there was to much killing... The description says extreme violence so obviously there is gunna be extreme violence. Good movie, see it.
| 9/10 | justyfour@ - first review 12.3.2012 - age: 13-17 |
There is no question that Denzel Washington in pseudo sociopath mode is very entertaining. Very few actors can shift so comfortably from a pearly white smile to a ferocious gaze as he can and his antics, playing a best of the best rogue assassin, makes most of Safe House worth sitting through. The action scenes are also well choreographed in the jumpy "realistic" style that has become commonplace since Jason Bourne arrived on-screen. However, almost everything else in the film from the plot, to the dialogue, to Ryan Reynold's performance, are so unbelievably routine that the film ends up being nothing more than the average run of the mill actioneer, diverting but completely unremarkable. What Washington could have done with a better wing-man and some more intelligent material!

Plot could be much better, but the actors are great, and the action is way up there.

I hated it, it is all about how they blew up a safe house because of the landlord, then kill kill kill everyone is dead, but not the main character, like if you were going to make a good movie, make it that there are at leat some people who live like ya.
| 1/10 | dancinggirl@ - first review 11.3.2012 - age: 18-25 |
A dramatic tale of unfortunate events within the new security apocalypse of a national evil determined to dissolve all tyranny. Ryan Reynolds cannot compete with Denzel Washington for the very fact they are two generations apart. Today's cast is an assemble of models who act and actors who live their character. Regardless the cast involved, a script needs to have elements of suspense and character development in order to bring forward the climax. This film fails to prevail, simply telling the tale of a CIA atrocity.
| 5/10 | photosundown@ - first review 11.3.2012 - age: 26-35 |
If you like constant gun fights and scenes where you can't make out what's happening then this one is for you. Don't forget to bring your barf bag... the constant camera movement was over the top. They should have a viewers warning on these types of films: may cause motion sickness. On the plus side, Denzil and Reynolds' acting was decent.
