I watch a lot of old school hollywood or classic foreign art house cinema. But I'm not a movie snob. For every Kurosawa or Bergman film I consume I can always find time for a good old fashioned beat em up action flick and love every minute of it. And Jason Statham is one of my go too action heroes.
Safe has to be one of his best and smartest movies. A young math prodigy has memorized a code to a large safe, and various criminals are after her. Luke (Statham) is a former detective who swears to protect her. I was shocked to see how well made and smart this movie was. Don't get me wrong you have plenty of over the top action scenes and nonsensical plot points, but it's an intelligently written film. It's also really well shot and the editing is fast paced. All in all, Safe is a surprisingly great action film. If you love action movies like me then go for it.
