Jason Statham stars as ex-Government agent Luke Wright who over the course of one harrowing night tears a swath through NY city's corrupt underworld in order to save a young girls life and redeem his own.
Another day, another Jason Statham film: As always, Statham plays a gruff, hard-as-nails hard man, here, he's harassed by the Russian mob and a precinct of corrupt NY cops. He's contemplating suicide when he saves a Chinese schoolgirl from the same gang of thugs that made his life a misery, turns out she's a maths genius wanted by the Russians, Triads and the cops in order to get a number she's memorized, which opens a safe full of money. Cue bullets, bloodshed, Statham's dodgy American accent, some head cracking violence and a quiver of pithy one-liners, as 'The Stath' takes it upon himself to clean house and save the day; vowing to the keep the girl safe and get to the actual safe (see what they did there?) before the bad guys. Needless to say, that equals an hour or so of well-paced, well-choreographed chaos and carnage. 'Safe' is an eminently watchable, instantly forgettable but entertaining movie that harks back to 90's action thrillers like 'Hard Target' and 'Mercury Rising' and ought to please Statham fans.
