It takes about a half hour to set up the story, before launching head first into an hour long chase/fight scene that only slows down a couple of times long enough to catch your breath. There's some pretty hard hitting hand to hand, and quite a lot of chaotic gunplay in 3 and 4 way shootouts. Statham is in full on badass mode, and he straight up murders dozens of gangsters by shooting them in the face. Standard Statham fare, but with nastier violence and a higher body count.

An amusing enough little burst of action hokum. The plethora of villains make it hard to really engage with any one, though they do provide a sense of menace lurking everywhere. The closest thing to a "final boss" battle is uninspiring, but there's a very cool scene involving a raid into an enemy base. Jason Statham punches many dudes.

Statham's best IMHO, primarily because it was a good story with great gun battles in a 4 sided war (Statham being one of the sides). I don't know where they keep coming up with these great kid actors, and her character gave the plot a depth it wouldn't have otherwise had.

The typical Jason Statham film, kick ass and kick some more ass. I especially loved the ending fight scene, badass.

very good 10 out of 10 awesome action movie jason statham is awesome in this movie

Really liked it. I like that it was so messy. Like Stewball said, there's a 4 sided war, and it's pretty much right from the beginning so instead of just Statham/kid vs Evil Bad Guys, everyone's shootin' at everyone. The little girl gave a good performance, the action was intense and interesting. And honestly, some of the scenes made me crack up (sandwich, running over guy, bashing Russian head in car). Some of these scenes have been done before but Safe handled some differently.

It's exactly what you expect. Check your brain at the door, pretty much. But it at least kept me entertained.

Jason Statham movies are to 18-35-year-old white males as Tyler Perry movies are to middle-aged black women. I am a 26-year-old male.
