Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

If you watch closely the films which J.S plays in, you will notice that movie was the first one, before HUMMING BIRD and PARKER, which the directors were absolutely not action movies film makers, not at all. And as far as J.S is above all an action actor, I found that unusual and interesting. In this very movie SAFE, you have some lines and shots that may seem offbeat for such items, for instance a shot from the Inside of a car, in the same manner as Joseph Lewis's GUN CRAZY. Not a masterpiece, this J.S feature, but not his worst for sure.

I was looking for a movie where a down and outer overcomes the bad guys. I had heard of the Statham movies, but never watched one where he was the lone star. I had seen The Expendables, which was action hero overload. This movie was free on Prime, so I said, why not. The story line was pretty straight forward, with multiple warring factions, and Statham in the middle, having a history with all of them. Of course, he has some expert military past that is alluded to. As the story develops, he attempts to rescue himself by rescuing this little Chinese girl, Mei. Of course, this means a lot of people get killed and he does most of the killing. Statham has a pretty good screen presence, pretty cool. This movie reminded me a little of the Charles Bronson Death Wish movies, except Statham is physically much more powerful.If you want to see good kick the stuffing out of evil, with not much plot, and some exciting fighting, this will suit you fine. I wish Amazon would make other Statham movies free for Prime too - there's a very small choice at this point.

Sadly a victim of poor-to-no marketing pre-release, this fantastic action thriller did not find an audience theatrically, though the word-of-mouth was uniformly damning with high praise (not faint). Everyone wanted a PG-13 actioner at the time, and got confused at Yakin (Remember the Titans) being behind-the-scenes, and did not know what to expect. It was something which could've been fixed by smart marketing, esp. in a world stuck to the internet but no, they almost released this direct to video, and both fans of the genre, fans of the star possibly missed out on a very engaging, balls-to-the-wall (soft) R-rated actioner, that's one of the better genre things that Statham has done, and is yet to better.A kinda throwback to the 80s and 90s thrillers, it almost feels like something Shane Black would've written. The flashbacks, and flashback-within-flashbacks structure, for a change, works very well, and this flick possibly has one of the longest setups ever in this kind of a movie, running close to the 1st 30 minutes. Miss even 5 of those, and you'll think you have it figured later, but would do better to revisit the minutes you missed initially.The casting is pitch-perfect, with Statham and everyone else (esp. the heavies) playing to their strengths. The biggest strength this movie has going for it, aside from the fact that there's a genuine sense of urgency and dread in each and every sequence, aside from the fact that everyone's playing it seriously and nothing's for a laugh, is the fantastic action choreography, perhaps the best yet this side of a Bourne movie. You could have had Daniel Craig or Liam Neeson playing the lead, and neither star wouldn't be outa place in this action thriller.Lean and mean, and packed with moments that have unexpected payoffs, this is one for repeated viewings. In fact, I'm writing this after having watched this for the 4th time, with my first 2 viewings being at the cinema, thankfully with a like-minded audience. Perfect, and I do hope it has a decent life at least on video. I, for one, got optimistic after viewing this, but was let down by most of Statham's choices after.

Awful bullshit. M a yLinda Indal is a Norwegian Nazi who has been chosen by slave owners, feudalists, capitalists and the catholic church to play the part "mother of God" in this world. While the world isn't yet ready for such a stupid understanding of the world, though, in the meantime she's often playing the part of the poor girl being bullied by others. This movie is just one in a long row of movies building that image. They're in league with the implant guys, wheather they're aware of it or not. Ideological warfare is the ultimate reason Hollywood exists in the first place (remember David W. Griffith's 'The birth of a nation' and 'Intolerance').F a s c i s tc r a p
