"Safe House", directed by Daniel Espinosa, is more like a 7.25 out of 10. What really works for the movie is unsurprisingly a good script and 2 seasoned likable actors. The story has some novelties along with it as well, in no small part, the Safe Houses (hence the title) (spoiler) which become anything but safe. I thought the action scenes mostly were well crafted including chase scenes and close in fist-fights. ((spoiler) I especially liked Reynolds as coming off novice believably. Aside from the stupidity of having the Reynolds character bring Washington to a soccer match in public and the predictability of who turns out to be a double-crosser, the movie is a good watch. It's worth a rental anytime and exceeded my expectations. Recommended.
