December 19, 2012Boaz Yakin's Safe is anything but safe.
Sporting a run time just under 90 minutes and a frantic pace to go with it, Safe runs red lights and spills the blood to keep the thrills at a high level. The first 5 minutes is a tough swallow, as it employs erratic scene

November 21, 2012"It's getting hard to decipher which action film is which when it comes to Jason Stathman. I mean, the man does well in these films and he's always entertaining. It's just he does so many of them. I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it is his philosophy of action films.

November 2, 2012Taking a page from Mercury Rising, what we have here is the story of a tough guy with a troubled past who finds himself protecting a special kid with special skills wanted by dangerous criminals with bad intentions.
The specifics are as follows: Jason Statham is Luke, a former ... read more -
October 28, 2012A pure adrenaline-charged action-packed thriller. A sensational and rip-roaring roller-coaster of excitement and mayhem that`s hard-boiled and hard-edged. A whip-smart, stylish, sharp and brutally intense film that is for sure one of the years best surprises. A non-stop, pulse-po... read more

October 22, 2012Another fun action film with the awesome Jason Statham....It is well executed, and Statham is solid in it as always. They don't litter this film with too much complex plot, or even too much dialogue. It is a pretty straight forward action film that fans of Statham, and action gen... read more

Mei, a young girl whose memory holds a priceless numerical code, finds herself pursued by the Triads, the Russian mob, and corrupt NYC cops. Coming to her aid is an ex-cage fighter whose life was destroyed by the gangsters on Mei's trail... read more -
October 7, 2012fb100000145236770I love Jason Statham action movies. He's like today's version of what Sylvester Stallone or Bruce Willis was doing in the 80's/90's. "Safe" sits perfect next to other greats like the "Transporter" and "Crank" series. He plays a circuit MMA fighter with bad luck who blows a rig... read more

September 23, 2012A bit above the normal standard for Statham's last few action films, which are all a bit the same. This has a good high tempo of action and filmed in away you feel right in the midst of the action. Overall better than expected.

September 9, 2012Well...talk about double cross, intrigue and back stabbing, this film has it all and you never know who the hell's gonna get it next.
Statham is back, well he never left but he's back on his own killing everybody in his path whilst being rather nifty with a gun. Like Seagal, St... read more -
August 28, 2012She has the code. He is the key.
Good action movie! 'Safe' is your typical Jason Statham action flick. I think it's fair to say, we don't watch Jason Statham movies expecting Oscar nominations; we watch his movies mainly because the action is phenomenal. If you want to watch a ... read more

Ian Buckwalter, The Atlantic
The thoroughly mediocre Safe provides little more than an excuse for Statham to do what Statham does better than anyone else: look stern while punishing bad guys. That's just not enough. Full Review

Tom Russo, Boston Globe
It's like another "Transporter'' installment trying to be something slightly more - and not quite delivering the goods. Full Review
April 27, 2012
Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter
Despite some impressively gritty street-level action, Safe plays it far too safe. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
Yeah, "Safe" is a long way from perfect. But rented, in a few months, it'll go great with a six-pack and a hold-the-anchovies special. Full Review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
The plot first strains and then assassinates credulity, while Yakin's handling of the action/mayhem runs the gamut from the merely dull to what-the-hell's-going-on. Full Review

Rafer Guzman, Newsday
This whip-smart, brutally funny and gleefully nasty film is one of the year's best surprises. Full Review

Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
There are zero surprises, but it looks good, moves well through a trim running time and wields its clichés with defiant aplomb. Full Review
April 27, 2012
William Goss, Film.com
Barrels through cliché after cliché and hurdles from borough to borough with a welcome abandon for logic, morality, and mortality alike. Full Review
April 26, 2012
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Yakin's slick direction, marked by quick cuts, unstinting energy and a lack of sentimentality, makes the action scenes satisfying. But he's a better director than writer. Full Review
