Skip it. Safe House is a forgettable action-thriller that coasts on the chemistry between Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington but delivers nothing you haven't seen a dozen times before—generic plot twists, shaky-cam fights, and zero surprises. You've got better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

A dangerous CIA renegade resurfaces after a decade on the run. When the safe house he's remanded to is attacked by mercenaries, a rookie operative escapes with him. Now, the unlikely allies must stay alive long enough to uncover who wants them dead.
