‘Safe House’ is a new spy thriller starring Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington. The trailer made the movie out to be a twist-filled, action spectacle of a thriller. Unfortunately, the trailer was much better than the movie itself. The movie never gives audiences any grounds to care for the characters. Reynolds’ character is a cookie-cutter neglected agent and Washington—the more interesting of the two—isn’t given nearly enough screen time. In the first ten minutes audiences know how the flick will end. The movie is really just a poor hybrid of every other CIA movie ever made. Watch those instead.
