Safe

Jason Statham is one tough son of a bitch. Almost every movie he release includes lots of bullets and lots of violence. He knows what he is good at, action movies, thankfully he has not tried drama so far, he knows his limits. Safe looks no different from his other movies, except alot more asians than usual. Will Safe keep Statham´s fanbase, or have he ran out of ideas?

Luke Wright ( Jason Statham ) was a famous boxer, until he damaged a fighter so bad, he had to quit. While Luke tries to work things out, a chinese girl Mei ( Catherine Chang ) is kidnapped by the Triads, since they say she is a genius in math. The Triads have a plan to follow, and with Mei they feel it might actually work. Luke is living like a homeless, ready to kill himself in the subway, until he meets Mei. She escaped from russian mob, and as well from the Triads. On the run, she finds help from Luke. With the Triads and russians on their trail, Luke knows he can´t hide everywhere until this is over.

This isnt Statham´s best action movie, but it´s entertaining enough. especially if you love hard hitting action. And the Triad scenes, where they only speak chinese for the most part, gives you a different perspective on crimes within family. If there is one problem with Safe, it would be the lack of original ideas. Safe follows a certain pattern, that we have seen so many times before. But, thankfully we dont have to get tired after 90 minutes, since Statham knows what we crave as action lovers. Don´t expect to be surprised, just take Safe for what it is, and im sure you will have a good time.
