Review: Safe

It's rather fitting that this by the numbers Jason Statham action-flick is so preoccupied with them, as numbers are the loose theme that ties the film together.

The plot is all over the place as Statham goes from MMA fighter to Hobo to CIA Agent, taking on Triads, Russians, policemen and politicians at various points, protecting a young Chinese girl from the many, many villains on screen.

Thankfully the plot is never the main reason to see a Statham film and the action definitely delivers , making the film fun throughout. The central relationship between Statham's Luke Wright and human calculator Mei is reminiscent at times of Leon - and its this relationship that brings the film above average into an entertaining action film that whilst offering nothing new, knows how to play to its strengths.
