 SAFE HOUSE

in theaters now

Denzel and Ryan Go H.A.M. in SAFE HOUSE

 

by Shelby Jones

  

If you like live combat, hand to hand rumbles, pistol totting killers, dangerous international espionage, and treason with a love story as the side-bar, this film is for you. The truth is SAFE HOUSE is TRAINING DAY on over-drive, combined with Red Bull, and ice-cold adrenaline from start to finish. Filled with expert killers, untrustworthy CIA Agents, political operators, and traitors sharing coffee with you, the film will definitely make you think, who is safe? Most importantly, the film is worth the price of admission, parking, popcorn and a beverage. 

 

I had questions about SAFE HOUSE before seeing it. Will Ryan Reynolds hold his weight, why is Denzel teamed again with a young, sidekick/nemesis, and will this be TRAINING DAY dressed up in government clothing? Well, to a certain extent it is TRAINING DAY, but Denzel and Ryan deliver performances so tight you can easily separate the two. Denzel's Alonzo (TRAINING DAY) vs. Tobin Frost (SAFE HOUSE) would be a nice duel in the desert. Alonzo didn't give a fudge about anyone and Frost doesn't either, but Frost is a trained killer; Frost in 2.

84th Annual Academy Awards

Billy Crystal did a fine job as always and some good people won, including Sean Combs, who served as an Executive Producer of the Best Feature Documentary, "UNDEFEATED." Congratulations to Octavia Spencer representing Alabama on another level. And a bravo to Harvey Weinstein who gambles hard on ideas and always comes up a winner. More on UNDEFEATED. Click Here 

 

To all of the writers, actors, directors, and others who create this great medium we call film, keep dreaming and keep working.  You too will walk that carpet one day. Of course that's if you want to. Can't remember the last time Woody showed up.
