    Thinking of seeing this soon. Looks Tony Scott-esque.

    Allow me to make the joke about that being why it looks bad before anyone else does.

    If you have enjoyed the last ten years of Tony Scott, this will be right in your wheelhouse

    Heh ETM I remember a couple years ago about some of your posts regarding how unimaginative and lame a lot of the Hollywood posters really are, and I believe you showed that you could do better than them. Its still true, I guess.

    Safe House looks decent. If Denzel and Reynolds weren't in this, I wouldn't give a damn about seeing it.

    This is an incredibly average movie. I'm not sure whether to yay or nay this. Washington and Reynolds deliver, but I found the plot uninteresting and predictable and the action wasn't particularly thrilling either (and slightly headache-inducing). Also, I should have expected this, but I was a little disappointed that the supporting cast was given almost nothing to do. But for a way to kill a couple hours, you could do a whole lot worse.
