The Magical Cake Fairy T @RT06268324 Apr 30 Great film full of action Statham does what he does best. The little girl acting was outstanding. Great plot. See more Jacob B @RT89309114 Feb 9 A decent flick which is admittedly far from flawless: the film leans into the misogynistic fridging trope at the beginning and the fact that we never see what she looks like calls attention to exactly the purpose she serves in the narrative and surprisingly minimal focus on Jason Statham protecting a girl despite it being the main selling point. Nevertheless, I still think this was a fine film. Action that, while not the best 2012 has to offer, is still enjoyable thanks to Chad Stahelski's involvement in helming them, a surprisingly decent performance from Statham in the more drama-heavy moment, the novelty of seeing James Hong in a more serious role and some decent levity thanks to Statham's dry delivery of more snide lines. While Safe's story is predictable and undercooked, it's still worth a watch for Statham aficionados with enough hard-hitting action to make it worthwhile. Now I wonder how Shelter, the next "Statham protects a kid" movie, will turn out...

On the run and with nothing left to lose, he crosses paths with Mei, a young math prodigy with a photographic memory who holds in her mind a secret numerical code tied to a powerful and highly coveted safe. Pursued by the same Russian mob, the Chinese Triads, and corrupt members of the New York City Police Department—each willing to kill for the code—Luke takes it upon himself to protect Mei and the secrets she carries, while fighting back and seeking revenge on those who destroyed his life. Overall, due to brutal fights and explosive shootouts (memorable moments in a fairly good but otherwise forgettable, run-of-the-mill picture), a gripping and high-stakes story (although the main beats are familiar in this genre and most Statham pictures feel samey, this one has a uniquely interesting plot), the dynamic and heartwarming companionship between Luke and Mei (two completely different characters whose personalities mesh seamlessly, quickly evolving from strangers to friends and, eventually, a makeshift family), and Chan’s impressive and nuanced performance as Mei (a strong debut that defies typical expectations, holding her own against a veteran like Statham while carrying both emotional and comedic scenes), this movie is pretty good, and although I wasn’t a huge fan of the pacing—mainly due to jumpy editing between story beats and tonal shifts, especially early on—and found the ending anticlimactic and somewhat unsatisfying (perhaps intentionally humorous, but it didn’t quite land for me), I still enjoyed my time with this feature. It’s a quick, fun, and entertaining picture that, while not exceptional or grandiose in filmmaking, delivers a satisfying, turn-your-brain-off experience.
