"Safe" is actually one of Jason Statham's better movies. And it has everything that you expect and want from his movies, lots and lots of action. But "Safe" is spiced up with a more deep and clever story compared to many of his previous movies.
The story told in "Safe" is about Mei (played by Catherine Chan), an eleven year old Chinese girl with a photographic memory, and she holds a very important numeric code. The Chinese seek to use her in their illegal trade, while Russians seek to get their hand on her as well, and to top it off, corrupt police are in the picture as well, in it for the easy cash. Luke Wright (played by Jason Statham) a washed out former police man and modern day gladiator down on his luck finds himself in the middle of it all as the young girl saves him from committing suicide, and Luke ends up saving the girl, but the clutches of the triad, mafia and corrupt police is closing in around them...
"Safe" was actually really enjoyable and the story had a good amount of suspense and thrill to it, and of course a heap of action; as it a Statham movie after all. The story moves forward at a good pace and there isn't really any dull moments in the movie. The action sequences are well choreographed and come off a rather brutal, raw and hard-hitting.
This movie is definitely a great action movie and if you are a fan of Jason Statham, then you have to watch this one. It was like watching the good old action movies from the late 80's and early 90's that I grew up with, just updated to suit today's audience. Jason Statham delivers the goods once again.
