Safe Reviews

Movie Reviews

• you can't help feeling that an initially adventurous movie has had its rough edges sanded away

  by Keith Uhlich [Time Out New York ]

• there's nothing terribly original about "Safe," but it's a suitably grimy playground for action cinema's reigning pit bull

  by Robert Abele [Los Angeles Times ]

• the movie takes no chances, hitting all its marks for stunt work and CGI eruptions

  by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]

• the movie is neither as franchise-friendly as The Transporter nor as boorishly experimental as Crank: High Voltage

  by Aaron Hillis [Village Voice ]

• speaking generally, are better at depicting psychological states than objective reality

  by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com ]

• somewhat hampered by an uneven pacing

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• none of this bears much or any resemblance to the real world

  by Amy Biancolli [San Francisco Chronicle ]

• marked by quick cuts, unstinting energy and a lack of sentimentality, makes the action scenes satisfying

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• incorporates "Transporter" elements

  by Andy Webster [New York Times ]

• has more action than intrigue (or logic), and it's boilerplate vicious

  Review rate : C+ by Owen Gleiberman [Entertainment Weekly ]

• as the complications of the script pile up, seemingly needlessly, "Safe" becomes more and more bangingly ludicrous

  by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies ]

• arrives filled with bombast and sneers but barely any thrills

  by Joe Neumaier [New York Daily News ]
