Movie Review - Safe House
Safe House has come along at a great time. It is in a completely different space to The Artist , The Descendants and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy . While the latter are all serious Oscar contenders which may feel stuffy to some of the viewing public, Safe House is a fun if not by the numbers spy action/thriller. Matt Weston (Reynolds) has spent the last twelve months posted as the housekeeper of a CIA safe house in Cape Town, South Africa. In this time he has seen no action at all. This all changes when Tobin Frost (Washington), a rogue CIA agent, is brought in for "questioning". A loyal company man, Weston must decide whether he stays true to the Agency or trusts in a man who is wanted on 4 continents, a master manipulator and the best damn agent the CIA has ever seen. Let the black-bagging and water boarding commence.
