Jason Statham has a pretty good piece of material to work with in SAFE. He plays an ex-cop who comes upon hard times simply because he was an honest one, and when his wife is murdered he loses the will to live. But one day, when he is thinking about jumping in front of an oncoming subway car, a gifted little Chinese girl enters his life and saves it, after which he vows to do anything to save her's. And that is no easy task. Lots of action, with a mostly ( and I empathize mostly ) decent story line, made this a pleasant experience for me. :T

hello george,
the hotel scene (40mins in) was filmed where i work. The security officers running out of the office, was filmed in my office. I work in downtown Philly at the Bellevue. So this film has a little place in my heart

Now that is certainly interesting, June. IMHO, I happen to think this is one of Statham's better efforts. He's not a bad actor when he has something to work with.Originally posted by junehello george,

I really enjoyed this movie.
A bit in Jason Statham's alley, but not his typical 1-vs-100 type of movie.
It's a much more realistic approach... as in, he only fought when he absolutely needed to.
They gave him a great role. I rented it, but I will be buying this as well.B&W 804S/Velodyne SPL-1000R/Anthem MRX720Comment

Entertaining film. Liked the ending where the "showdown" goes in an unexpected direction.Comment

Unfortunately, I am not as enthusiastic about this movie as others above. I thought it was extremely contrived, and I didn't think they developed the plot enough to convince me of the girl's real value (to any of the involved parties). Worth watching once if you like Statham, but definitely not a keeper for me. I'd give it 2 (out of 5) stars tops.BradComment

Sounds like an interesting premise. A little different from what I'm used to seeing, but if it's an action movie that's not full of blood and guts, then I'm on board.Comment

Here's another reason to stay home and enjoy a movie in your own HT. Apparemtly, the movie "Anacondas" is so realistic, at a local theater one of the snakes jumped out from the screen and slithered across the floor, prompting management to close the place. ;>) (Just kidding about how it... -
This could be any morning.

First, let me say that I have made 12 transactions using Audiogon and have excellent feedback. All went without a hitch but, most were with local pickups. One advantage to living in such a large urban area, no problem finding local buyers or sellers.
On Friday, Oct 7, I had the winning... -
So I've got a bit of an unusual question for everyone with regards to audio outside the home. I work in an office where portable media players and other portable/personal electronic devices are strictly forbidden (and result in *instant* termination if found!), and I work the night shift a couple days... -
Just like the subject line says, I want to wish everyone (that celebrates it, anyway) a safe and happy Thanksgiving holiday. Enjoy your turkey and dressing and ham and rolls and casseroles and pies and football and naps. . . . And also, if you are travelling, be safe!
