I’m a big fan of Denzel Washington. He always seems to put his all into a
role. So, I was very curious to see how
well the chemistry would work between him and Ryan Reynolds. Thankfully, they seemed to click nicely! This is a fairly quickly paced film within
the spy world containing gritty, fast paced action scenes and more than enough
drama and suspense to keep the story flowing.
In some ways the film reminded me a little of the Borne series as the
film throws in a fantastic car chase and one on one hand-to-hand fights with a
few gunfights peppered in through-out the films story.
The story centers on Ryan Reynolds character who operates a
Safe House and he’s bored out of his mind. He wants to get out into the field
and see some action but instead is stuck in a little room just existing. All that changes when a supposed rogue agent
played by Denzel Washington is brought for…well…let’s just say an off the
records interrogation. The CIA isn’t the
only group who was after him however as it isn’t long before guys with guns
bust in and that’s really where the story starts. Ryan Reynolds is forced to rescue Denzel (as
it’s the job of the Safe House keeper to protect his “guest”) which leads them
on the run from the CIA and the mysterious group of murderers.
Ryan Reynolds career has had quite a few ups and downs so it’s
nice to see him in a film that’s solid and strong. This was an enjoyable, fast paced thriller with
a strong cast and one big twist that I was honestly surprised at. If you’re looking for an action film with a
good story then you will enjoy Safe House.
