Luke Wright is a two-bit cage fighter, until the day he throws a fixed match. In retaliation, the Russian mob murders his family and destroys his life. Though alone and haunted by grief, Luke springs into action to save a Chinese girl (Catherine Chan) from the same gangsters who killed his family -- and lands in the middle of a high-stakes war. The girl is no ordinary child; she's a math prodigy who holds in her head a numerical code for which various factions are ready to kill.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

While hard-hitting and violently inventive, Safe ultimately proves too formulaic to set itself apart from the action thriller pack -- including some of its star's better films.

Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com The mechanics make sense, what's going on fits within the confines of the narrative structure, making what's going on within both surprisingly fun and shockingly engaging. Rated: 3/4 May 15, 2012 Full Review David Stratton At the Movies (Australia) Like so many action films these days the film is over-edited and under-plotted, and we've seen Statham's tough guy character many times before. Rated: 2.5/5 May 10, 2012 Full Review Nick Schager Slant Magazine It's the imposing Statham's badass grimace and combat acumen that primarily elevate Safe above your average direct-to-video genre work Rated: 2.5/4 May 9, 2012 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Action junkies should be pleased. Rated: 3/4 Nov 20, 2022 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies A sharply directed action picture that builds on a really strong performance from Statham all the way to its bullet-ridden finale. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... delivers an unexpectedly dense, speedy, tight action thriller that is full of rapid-fire street action, makes great use of Statham’s physical poise, and features a body count big enough to make a dent in the New York City census results.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Oaklee D A Statham film that suffered from a clunky script which made no sense. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/16/25 Full Review HMF B A good bad-guy-with-a-good-heart-saves-a-little-girl movie to watch on a week night with popcorn. I enjoyed watching Catherine Chan's performance.
