Safe
Luke Wright is a two-bit cage fighter, until the day he throws a fixed match. Wanting to make an example of him, the Russian Mafia murders his family and banishes him from his life forever. But when he witnesses a frightened twelve-year-old Chinese girl, Mei, a young girl whose memory holds a priceless numerical code, being pursued by the same gangsters who killed his wife, Luke impulsively jumps to action.

It ain't too smart, it ain't too sophisticated, but it does have its charm and is entertaining enough for what it is: an action-packed, B-movie experience.

The thoroughly mediocre Safe provides little more than an excuse for Statham to do what Statham does better than anyone else: look stern while punishing bad guys. That's just not enough.

It's hard to swallow Statham, who spent the Crank movies supercharging his last minutes of life, as a suicidal sad-sack, just as it's painful to see him yoked to a cute little girl in an obvious attempt to soften his image.

Character development and storyline are treated as inconveniences to be tossed aside at the earliest opportunity.

An action film so cack-handed it borders on parody.

The occasional efficient action sequence means that 'Safe' never gets truly dull, but even Statham aficionados might feel short- changed by this one.

It's like another "Transporter'' installment trying to be something slightly more - and not quite delivering the goods.

Overall, Safe is terribly glum and resolutely average.

Perhaps one of these days Statham will stop making the same movie over and over and try something new.

Yeah, "Safe" is a long way from perfect. But rented, in a few months, it'll go great with a six-pack and a hold-the-anchovies special.

Safe is an exceptional Jason Statham B-movie that managed to sneak through the cracks during its theatrical release.

Despite some impressively gritty street-level action, Safe plays it far too safe.
