Luke Wright is a two-bit cage fighter, until the day he throws a fixed match. In retaliation, the Russian mob murders his family and destroys his life. Though alone and haunted by grief, Luke springs into action to save a Chinese girl (Catherine Chan) from the same gangsters who killed his family -- and lands in the middle of a high-stakes war. The girl is no ordinary child; she's a math prodigy who holds in her head a numerical code for which various factions are ready to kill.

Critics Consensus

While hard-hitting and violently inventive, Safe ultimately proves too formulaic to set itself apart from the action thriller pack -- including some of its star's better films.

3/4

The mechanics make sense, what's going on fits within the confines of the narrative structure, making what's going on within both surprisingly fun and shockingly engaging.

2.5/5

Like so many action films these days the film is over-edited and under-plotted, and we've seen Statham's tough guy character many times before.

2.5/4

It's the imposing Statham's badass grimace and combat acumen that primarily elevate Safe above your average direct-to-video genre work

3.5/5

A sharply directed action picture that builds on a really strong performance from Statham all the way to its bullet-ridden finale.

... delivers an unexpectedly dense, speedy, tight action thriller that is full of rapid-fire street action, makes great use of Statham’s physical poise, and features a body count big enough to make a dent in the New York City census results.

Jason Statham's badass demeanour is very much highlighted in this movie, in all of its brutal, violent and sleek nature. If you're looking for two hours of Statham panache in a pretty average R-rated thriller, SAFE is a good choice.

Some hard hitting action and violence, but overall nothing new and depressingly average.

Terrific performance by one of my favorite actors Jason Statham! Notably as well a terrific performance given by Robert John Burke as a dirty gritty cop Captain Wolf. Burke gives a stellar performance with similarities of Hollywood actor Ed Harris. Burke gives a believable performance as a gritty New York City cop that's on the take. Go see it!
