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.

sean G Really good action movie, all you need , a top cast, really well planed story, as much action and drama to keep you watching . 10/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/24 Full Review DK T Generic plot, action. How something this worthless can get made I have no idea. If you need some background noise and want to browse the internet it might have a purpose. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Matheus L Esse filme cumpre com a promessa de entregar ação, violência gratuita e diálogos básicos, é o protagonista protege alguém muito importante na trama. (No caso uma criança carismática) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/25/24 Full Review Sam C It is not a poor movie. But a few narrative choices hurt it overall. Having the main villain have so little screen time is also a mistake. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/26/24 Full Review Mark H Good solid action movie. I have a slight issue with how easily they worked out a page containing one long number was the code to a safe but other than that not bad overall ! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/24 Full Review Bryan B This is one time where back story hurt more than helped and made things way more complicated than needed for this level of movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
