![]() ![]() Sound mixing was noteworthy, the gun shots were loud and piercing which always gets me pumped when watching an action flick. It was exhilarating and Daniel Espinosa filmed it rather well. ![]() A car crash, a raided safe house and a car chase in Cape Town. The action scenes were great, the first act is definitely the most lively. Gleeson was good, but again was underused until the final act. Her character was pretty much pointless which infuriates me every time I watch this. Farmiga, criminally underrated by the way, was underused. Kind of like a master and his apprentice, except this master is on the opposite side of the law to his apprentice. Washington and Reynolds made for an uneasy chemistry and the two work well together. If you've watched this, then you'll probably remember nothing about the story. Full of espionage, double crossing and a damn convoluted plot in an attempt to make it engaging. On the run from mercenaries that raided a safe house, Reynolds attempts to prove himself by bringing him in. ![]() We follow Washington who plays a dangerous renegade with important information. ![]() Yet somehow this still fell short from being great. I mean if you are going to bring in Ryan Reynolds, Denzel Washington, Brendan Gleeson and Vera Farmiga.you're pretty much halfway to making a good film. Safe House is a well acted action thriller. ![]()
