Denzel is Good, But...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 10, 2012

Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a CIA Agent eager for a new assignment. After almost a year as the "landlord" of a safe house in Cape Town, he wants to transfer to a more high-profile gig. He spends his days bouncing a ball against the walls, trying to stave off boredom. He is surprised to get a last minute reservation; the CIA has captured Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington), a notorious and very dangerous ex-CIA agent who is now considered a traitor. No sooner has Frost been brought in than a group of renegades break into the safe house and start shooting. Matt manages to smuggle Tobin out and the chase begins.

Written by David Guggenheim (his second film) and directed by Daniel Espinosa (his first Hollywood film), "Safe House" has all the makings of a top-notch thriller directed by Tony Scott. In fact, I thought it was a Tony Scott film when I saw the trailer for the first time. But that isn't a compliment.

The film begins by establishing both lead characters. We spend a significant amount of time watching Tobin weave in and out of the crowds and dark alleyways of Cape Town. Eventually, he meets another agent and buys a chip containing some very damaging information. Once he takes possession, it seems like everyone is out to get him. But Tobin has some moves and manages to escape them every time. Well, almost every time...

Matt wakes up next to his beautiful French girlfriend and they talk about the future. She wants to move back to France and he is itching for a different assignment. He pushes his mentor (Brendan Glesson) to get him reassigned. At lunch, she says she doesn't have to be at work for an hour, they should go back home and make love. At work, he walks the empty halls of the 'clinic' and eventually starts bouncing a ball against the wall.

All of this is actually interesting because it helps to establish and build each of these characters, giving us some insight into their lives and we realize each one is in a very different place with a completely different skill set. Through the course of the chase, each person will have to rely on the other and use their skills to help both of them survive.

Once the men break into the safe house and start shooting, everything starts to go wrong.

As soon as Tobin arrives, he size up Matt. The men who have captured Tobin push the younger agent to one side, treating him like the insignificant innkeeper he is. Nothing escapes Tobin's eyes and he turns on the Hannibal Lecter-ese; the crazy, super-intelligent mad man persona. He starts to goad Matt, saying things like "Tick Tock" to get the younger, less experienced agent to make a rash decision. He doesn't expect Matt to be of any consequence.

Matt is inexperienced, but because he wants a more exciting post, he isn't about to let anything happen to Tobin and smuggles him out steps ahead of the men who stormed the safe house.

Once Matt and Tobin start to run through the streets, trying to evade the men, the film becomes incredibly routine.

These characters are a fun thing to watch. For a few minutes. And then you realize you have seen these types of performances a million times before. It just becomes so boring, so quickly.

Washington is a great actor and always brings a palpable intensity to his performances. And Tobin Frost is no exception. From the moment we first set eyes on Tobin, we know there is something going on beneath the surface. He isn't telling everything to everyone. He has some ulterior motive to his actions.

But he has done this type of character before. And there really isn't anything new in this portrayal.

I think Washington is a cinematic tour de force, but he needs better direction. He works with Tony Scott on an abnormally frequent basis. Many successful directors and actors have created legacies together. Scorcese and DeNiro and DiCaprio. Hitchcock and Grant and Stewart. Ford and Wayne. Huston and Bogart. There are many, many more. And you can just tick off the names of movies that will stand the test of time associated with each of these teams. On the flipside, many successful, well-known actors continue to work with the same people. This doesn't stretch their talents and they continue to make the same films. Washington has the talent to join DeNiro, Grant and Stewart. He doesn't deserve to be lumped in with actors like Will Ferrell and Adam Sandler.

Ryan Reynolds has made an interesting transformation over the last few years. He used to do a lot of broad comedies, a lot of comedies filled with low brow humor. Then, he made "The Proposal" and has been in some action films, transforming his whole persona, trying to become a big-time movie star. His status is certainly on the rise, but the lackluster performance of "Green Lantern" and "The Change-Up" last summer didn't help. But what the diversity of his films shows is that he can do action, he can do comedy, he can do low brow. He is also a very good-looking guy, which doesn't hurt. People obviously see the potential and believe he will deliver on it.

Reynolds does a nice job with Matt. We immediately get who he is; his ambitions, his unfulfilled promise, his boredom. These all paint a very different picture of who he actually is. Than, all of a sudden, everything in his life changes and he will have to use all of the long-dormant skills and lessons, many never used and only learned, to stay alive.

"Safe House" holds a lot of promise, but it has a number of problems creating the equivalent of a wash. It isn't a good thing when your film is reminiscent of Tony Scott's work. When someone mentions Tony Scott, my guess is the first thing you will think of is over-editing. Editing is an art form, used to tell a story, to keep the audience engaged. How is it possible for anyone to get engaged in a story when no shot lasts more than a few seconds? Can you watch a film with a constantly moving hand-held camera? No. These are the tell-tale signs of Scott's work. It almost seems like he uses the over-editing to hide his lack of story telling ability and his lack of creativity. Because he doesn't give us time to concentrate on anything, it is more difficult for most to notice the problems. Espinosa is clearly influenced by Scott. Too bad he didn't look to Ridley, Tony's brother, for inspiration.

If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Using that philosophical question lets take a brief look at this suspense film. One of the key factors to a successful suspense film is that it surprises the viewer. If a suspense film doesn't have any surprises, can the audience enjoy it? Very early on, you will be able to guess who is pulling all of the strings behind the scenes. When this becomes evident, the film just becomes a long chase and you will probably be able to guess how that will end. And the little twists and turns are all predictable as well because they have to happen. The filmmakers know they need to keep us guessing, so they throw in these little moments, these little surprises.

"Safe House" is okay. But it promises much more than it delivers. And for that reason, it is truly disappointing.

Denzel Washington was superior as always, but careful not to upstage Reynolds - what a kindness from an icon.

Ryan Reynolds was outstanding - this may be his best work. No mask, no light comedy. He can carry the lead in serious, gritty action flicks as well as cover both dark and light comedy.

Brendon Gleason seems to be making a living as the traitor / " surprise" bad guy. Casting directors need to find someone new. Better yet, twist and make him the surprise good guy.

Great action and fight scenes. Clever plot, though it may be difficult for some to follow. Excellent acting by the two stars elevated the decent script. Directing and editing may not have been superb, but stunts and camera work were great.

This wasn't Bourne, but Reynolds showed he is capable of leading that kind of blockbuster.

OH, THIS IS A GOOD ONE...

Washington, and Ryan make a super duo. Washington plays the part of a rogue deep cover operator. Ryan is a newbie. He's left to man this particular safe house. One of the many, many Safe Houses that are scattered everywhere across the world. Ryan's character is young, enthusiastic, at the VERY peak of health, constantly training, espionage, and everything else that it takes to be...dangerous, to become one of the best. Unfortunately, He doesn't even exist. His girlfriend thinks he just has a "Government job." He hasn't told her any different. But subterfuge, even by omission is still bull$#!+ ...So, day after day, after week, after months of sitting in a completely empty apartment. He's a glorified babysitter.
***Washington's character, as I said, is a deep cover operator. REALLY deep. As a matter of fact, he's walking around with enough info to wipe out a whole viper den of corruption from the top to the bottom of just about every nation...including our own...
Creepy, right? Well, Washington's character is on the run. Some very dangerous people are willing to do anything AND everything, to kill him before he spills the info; he's finally captured (on purpose) and taken to, one of our Super Max hide and disappear programs. When they spill through the door, Ryan's world is about to change...forever. it's an assignment alright. They need to hide this super-operator. Recover the data, and prepare him for immediate extraction. Ryan's character is frustrated. He wants an op. He's wasting his talents (of which not even his superiors know how truly competent he is!
Okay. I'm stopping there. But rest assured Washington's character has been doing this for years. He is so dangerous..so great are his skills, so ruthless that it is really scary. Within moments, the safe house is breached, everyone is butchered, so Ryan takes a chance, and decides to takes his "prisoner" in. Ryan's character doesn't have a chance. Within just a little while, Ryan is awed and ashamed of how fast he loses the much more experienced operator. But there's one thing that every single hit squad, every attempted procurement, and dozens of operators trying their best to recapture washington, they have overlooked one detail..They all have forgotten about The Newbie. Having absolutely no other choice, the two hunted operators has to trust each other to escape. Little by little, Washington begins to be impressed. Ryan is NO ONE TO FOOL WITH. Both of them are lethal. Washington's character is ruined. He trusts no one. He has never had anyone that could protect his six. Ryan is unwavering in his altruism and honor. His unwillingness to kill, his steadfast belief in his country... surprises Washington...washington had been the best. But there is something to this newbie...This was a great movie. The finale scenes are so powerful that it actually choked me up. Now that's some acting!!

Terrific movie, the first I'd bought on blu-ray to see the difference on my HD Smart TV.

Really impressed with that quality and the storyline for the film was excellent too. Denzel Washington is an outstanding actor, with the plot and action sequences, superbly bolstered by Ryan Reynolds. He's not just a good comedy actor, but he does action well and has that dimension to his repertoire.
