I saw a review that described this movie perfectly and I kind of agree with it: it’s neither good nor bad. It has a couple of things that work and quite a few that don’t.

The cast is actually pretty solid. Lucien Laviscount, Lewis Tan, Hannah John-Kamen, Holt McCallany and, surprisingly, Michael Bradway. It was nice seeing him in something outside of Chicago Fire. Performance wise, everyone does a decent job, but nothing really stands out in a big way. If I had to pick the highlights, Lucien and Hannah are clearly the strongest. They carry most of the energy whenever they’re on screen.

The action scenes are fine and entertaining, but they could have been much better. They lack a bit of coordination and clarity, and sometimes it’s hard to fully enjoy them because the staging doesn’t always come together as well as it should. On top of that, there are some noticeable technical issues. There are moments where someone is speaking and you can’t really tell who it is, and it honestly feels like a line of dialogue that accidentally made it into the final cut.

Where the movie works best is the plot. It’s very cliché, but for a short, fast paced action movie, it kind of does the job. Trying to figure out who the traitor is and watching how everything unfolds is entertaining enough, even if it becomes a bit obvious at times. Still, it keeps things moving and never really drags.

In the end, this is one of those typical action movies you put on to have a decent time without thinking too much. It’s fine for what it is, but it doesn’t offer much more than that. Perfectly watchable, but also very forgettable.

**It could have been written in a less safe and more entertaining way
**
Safe House is a new thriller directed by Jamie Marshall. This is his first time directing a theatrical film; previously, he only directed the TV movie Dirty Lies.

After a terrorist attack, six federal agents go into hiding in a safe house. There, they are cut off from the outside world. When they discover that one of them is responsible for the attack, distrust among the six quickly grows. They must identify the culprit, but can hardly trust one another.

The film comes across as an underdeveloped version of Who Is the Mole?, in which the characters try to guess who cannot be trusted, but this idea is too weakly executed. It becomes obvious rather quickly who the terrorist is, because the other characters are not developed well enough to make the audience care about them. As a result, the “odd one out” is easy to spot, leaving little real tension.

The story is also told at too slow a pace, making the film feel tedious before long. Moreover, the weak and uninteresting writing gives the actors very little to work with.

talented cast, but with an underdeveloped plot and preciditable twist.
