Safe House

If it has got Denzel, it has got to be good.  At least that is one of my many movie-watching mantras.  But this movie, with Denzel and Ryan Reynolds, had my expectations way up.  I will be honest, I expected a bit more ass-kickery from Denzel, but while in this flick he went more along the run-and-gun route (literally) have no fear as there is some quality hands-on butt-kicking done by Reynolds.  Speaking of, as much as I love the witty-sarcastic-funny Reynolds it was refreshing to see him in a more serious action-crime role.

The plot is predictable, but for this movie I found myself really not caring.  I call this the Denzel Effect.  He makes even the simplest, shortest line of dialogue powerfully awesome.  Chaos might reign about him, and the look on his face is priceless.  As with Ghost Protocol, ignore the last few minutes of the film (ugh) and just focus on the hour-forty that was previous; you will leave with your adrenaline pumping.
