A Movie A Week: Week 10 - Safe House

Movie: Safe House
Theater: AMC Colonial 18
Snack: Hot Dog and Coke

There's not a whole lot to say about "Safe House."  It was an enjoyable action movie, but not particularly memorable or special.  It follows the formula of a number of Denzel Washington's recent films where he plays a character who falls somewhere on a continuum from well-meaning asshole to genuinely bad guy.  He's paired with a pure-hearted rookie and the movie is as much about the clash of characters as it is about the plot.  So, you've probably seen this movie before in one of its earlier iterations, but it is an entertaining formula, and this version of it is satisfying if ultimately forgettable.
