I remember years ago when I first heard the word "gratuitous ." it was pertaining to movies having "gratuitous sex or violence." Well, folks....this is one of those gratuitous violence movies. I can't recall a film in which the good guy killed more people per minute of screen time than Jason Statham's character in "Safe." I mean, it's unbelievable!
That, some corny and stupid dialog and no likable characters all should have added up to a lousy movie experience....yet, I still found it entertaining. Go figure. Maybe it's some of the stylish shots or the fact that Statham - no matter how crude - always seems to play a character that's fun to watch. The story wasn't bad, either: a stone-cold killer with a soft heart for a wayward kid.
If you are in a hostile mood and want a movie to get lost in, to unload some anger, Statham and this movie is your ticket!
