Safe House: Steelbook Edition (2012) (Includes Blu-ray, DVD & Digital Copy) (Blu-ray)

This is probably the best thriller in a while, very realistic and gritty action and car chases, cool story that is paced well and keeps you interested, Reynolds and Washington are both top of their game and give 110 percent, story has a few little twists, overall if thrillers are your cup of tea this will go down nicely.

This is a great action thriller and although it's nothing we have not seen many times before it does offer great performances from Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds, as the story centres around the legendary spy Tobin Frost (Washington) has managed to elude capture for over a decade, this is due to him being one of the best op's men the CIA's ever trained and he uses his experience as an ex-intelligence officer to be one step ahead of the goverments persuit. He's wanted because of selling military secrets to the highest bidder and the damage he could cause could be immeasurable as all the dirty little secrets of double cross's and bribes could be revealed.
Ryan Reynolds plays Matt Weston who's frustrated by his inactive post in Cape Town as a "Housekeeper" as he aspires to be a full fledged case officer, he's a loyal company man who has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself. When his first and only occupant proves to be the most dangerous operative he will ever cross and Weston is drawn into a very shady game.
The film is very well paced with some fantastic action as the two stars try and evade everyone who wants Frost. Reynolds really does hold his own against the star power and talent of Washington and he portrays a man out of his deapth very convincingly with moments of panic.It's also well directed and the South African locations are brilliant. The plots good and keeps you guessing who's on who's side until the end and although un-original makes for a very entertaining , well acted action thriller.

Average film, average cast with ok action. I have watched this once and although it entertained me for the running time I will not be thinking I want to watch it again. There are much better on the run government conspiracy movies.
