Entertainment Reviews:
3 stars out of 5 -- [D]irector Espinosa infuses his production with some bold choices, both in terms of technics and twists. The film's action sequences are absolutely top-notch...
Box Office
Rating: 2/4 --
Plays it safe at every turn, and the result is a film that just can't compete with its own clear influences.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
3 stars out of 5 -- [T]here's a distinct aural texture that makes SAFE HOUSE feel fresher than average....A solid property built on firm foundations that's worth a visit...
Total Film
[It's] undeniably engaging and extremely well acted.

[A] take-no-prisoners action extravaganza that doesn't stint on either bullets or brutal hand-to-hand combat.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 2/4 --
This is a film filled with lines like, "Everyone betrays everyone." But the banality of those words almost disappears when Denzel Washington utters them.

Washington Examiner
Car chases, brutal fight scenes and much ancillary action crowd the story, but there's little to detain the brain as far as script or characterisation go.

Product Description:
A rookie CIA operative goes on the run with a rogue former intelligence officer after a South African safe house comes under attack by heavily armed mercenaries. Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a CIA agent just waiting for the perfect opportunity to prove himself. But that's no easy task when you've been cooped up in an empty Cape Town safe house for a whole year. Weston realizes that a prime opportunity is headed his way, however, when he learns that former agent Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) has been captured after nearly a decade on the run. Frost is about to become Weston's one and only guest at the safe house, and the fledgling agent is determined to handle the situation like a true professional. But by selling U.S. secrets to countries like North Korea, Frost has made more than his fair share of enemies in high places, and shortly after he arrives at the safe house, all hell breaks loose. A small army of gunmen are determined to see Frost dead. Meanwhile, Weston will do everything in his power to protect Frost, regardless of his crimes. Now Weston's only hope for getting out of this alive is to find out who's gunning for them, and seek out someone he can trust before it's too late.
