Best two reviews:
1) St. Louis Post-Dispatch - The action is contained within a coherent dramatic structure and the puzzle-box paranoia of spy-agency protocol. (Rating: 88) Read Full Review >
2) Austin Chronicle - Director Espinosa stages the endless action with a tremendous flair that recalls John Woo's grittier moments, and cinematographer Oliver Wood, who shot Woo's finest Hollywood moment, "Face/Off," gives the whole violent show a downright brackish look that borders on the sublime.

Worst two reviews:
34) New York Observer - All of which makes me sad about Denzel Washington's disillusioning participation. I forgive him if the money was irresistible enough to pay off a mortgage or put his kids through Harvard, but Safe House is total junk, and he is one of the producers. (Rating: 25) Read Full Review >
35) San Francisco Chronicle - Safe House is an idea for a movie. It's a few blustery gestures in the direction of a story, with five good actors doing their best, trying to hold up the barest frame of an idea, while investing the surrounding emptiness with all the truth they can muster.
