Teen, 13 years old Written by Zekew March 2, Good One to try as a Teen First off, let me tell you this is a great movie. I saw it today with my dad, I'm 13, and we both loved it. It was the first R movie I had seen in theaters Teen, 15 years old Written by mike June 10, I watched it friday night and I only head s--t and a-- no more than 3 times What's the story?

Is it any good? But at the movie's core is the very interesting, opposing relationship between the leads, the seasoned, cynical Tobin Frost and the young, optimistic Matt Weston. Washington and Reynolds genuinely click into their characters and provide several shades of grey between them. They clash in intriguing ways -- sometimes visually, sometimes in dialogue -- and their meeting of minds is by far Safe House 's most interesting element.

It's too bad all the "normal" stuff couldn't have been jettisoned in favor of deepening this relationship. Talk to your kids about Our editors recommend. Live Free or Die Hard. Top review. Nothing really new but a good choice of actors, effects and locations.

The story presents nothing new and is about the usual stereotypes: the good one turn out to be the bad ones, the bad ones turn out to be the good ones, the weak ones turn out to be the strong ones and so one. I think you get what I mean. The movie has no big surprises after all. But if this kind of movie is well done, it can still merit a rating of eight points. I only give six point five and for this site seven points because of the mediocre camera work that was shaking and irritating at some points of the movie.

The rest of the film is quite decent. The fighting and action scenes are very well done and with the visual and sound effects in cinema, it's a pleasant entertainment to watch this movie for sure. It's a good flick to change your mind, to relax and to take a break from your everyday life for sure.

The acting is also rather good with two strong lead actors that are a very cool Denzel Washington and a sympathetic and determined Ryan Reynolds. The only little flaw is that I would have liked to know more about both characters, especially about their past and what really led them to do what they actually do in the movie. The movie simply has not the greatest script to stand out among many other similar flicks but it's still a good film.

I would suggest you to rather watch the movies I talked about in my introduction or classics like "I As In Icarus" but if you have seen and liked them all, you will surely appreciate this work, too.

That someone is Barlow, who knows that there is ruinous information about him on that microchip. Back at the safe house, Weston wakes up after passing out from his injuries.

When confronted, Barlow confesses that he "did something [I'm] not proud of" and is now going to great lengths to keep it hidden.
