Additional InformationA rookie CIA operative goes on the run with a rogue former intelligence officer after a South African safe house comes under attack by heavily armed mercenaries. Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a CIA agent just waiting for the perfect opportunity to prove himself. But that's no easy task when you've been cooped up in an empty Cape Town safe house for a whole year. Weston realizes that a prime opportunity is headed his way, however, when he learns that former agent Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) has been captured after nearly a decade on the run. Frost is about to become Weston's one and only guest at the safe house, and the fledgling agent is determined to handle the situation like a true professional. But by selling U.S. secrets to countries like North Korea, Frost has made more than his fair share of enemies in high places, and shortly after he arrives at the safe house, all hell breaks loose. A small army of gunmen are determined to see Frost dead. Meanwhile, Weston will do everything in his power to protect Frost, regardless of his crimes. Now Weston's only hope for getting out of this alive is to find out who's gunning for them, and seek out someone he can trust before it's too late.
ReviewsPhiladelphia Inquirer - Safe House rockets along, taking a familiar formula and making it work - hard., IGN Movies - ...brutally intense, edge-of-your seat action and great star performances from Reynolds and Washington., The New York Times - Essentially and very effectively a rollicking smash-and-crash chase movie that happens to be surprisingly well acted., St. Louis Post-Dispatch - The action is contained within a coherent dramatic structure and the puzzle-box paranoia of spy-agency protocol.
