Jul 24, 2018 Though it may have looked cheesy from the trailer, it was a great movie to watch. Has all that a movie needs with an indie style touch. Would recommend 100%! See more

Leia S Jul 18, 2018 Strengths: What caught my eye about this film at first was the strong cast. I've liked these people in most of what I've seen them in and this was no different. Aubrey Plaza (Darius Britt) was the star. She was nominated for several independent awards for it and you can see why. Her performance is great and real, but so is the character. The main thing that the script nails is how well Darius is developed and her arc. She goes from a directionless girl to finding something to believe in and it's in the strangest of places. Plaza's perfect deadpan ability makes her ideal for this role. Mark Duplass (Kenneth Calloway) continues to shine in everything I've seen him in. He's endearing in how much he believes in what he's doing. Kristen Bell (Belinda) had a nice small role that she did well with. For being a low-budget flick, the effects were done well, especially in the final scene. Weaknesses: Despite both actors giving strong performances, the chemistry between Plaza and Duplass just isn't there. There's also quite a big issue with Jake Johnson (Jeff Schwensen) and his character's role. I think it would've worked better if he begrudgingly took on a mentor role for his interns. Instead, he meets up with an ex named Liz (Jenica Bergere) and just hangs out with her. When things go south, not much changes other than an attempt to get Arnau (Karan Soni) laid. He doesn't have an arc and every scene with Liz feels like a waste of time that drags things down. Overall: This movie has a cool premise and is helped along by a charming script. The performances of most of the cast, specifically Plaza, are great. However, it gets bogged down by a pointless B plot. See more

Rey R Jun 10, 2018 a risk not worth taking.. Safety Not Guaranteed The chemistry among the characters isn't explored and neither is detailed or given enough range and room to the viewers and also the actors to perform and factor in accordingly to justify the occurring events and the actions of the characters. The camera work could have been a lot better and neither is shot pleasingly to impress the audience and is short on other technical aspects like background score and editing too. The writing is strong and has potential premise to feed off the audience throughout its run time (of almost 90 minutes which is short and to-the-point and works in its favor) . Colin Trevorrow; the director, has done a decent work on executing but lacks to communicate with the audience through its characters and unfortunately verbal sparring too. The performance isn't convincing especially coming from the lead actors (Aubrey Plaza and Mark Duplass) makes it more disappointing. It hits hard and fast and moves swiftly in front of the viewers but the issue in here is that it fails to create the anticipated impact on screen. Safety Not Guaranteed is a risk not worth taking as it all narrows down to a moot point that the makers sweat to make. See more
