I am so glad I took the chance to see Safe House. It was not what I expected at all, and it proved that Denzel Washington's Oscar win was not a fluke. It seemed to be a mix between Training Day and Bourne Identity with all the action and car chases. The camera shaking is a little too much to take at times, but I guess that adds to the realism of the situations such as the fight scenes. For a February movie, Safe House really went beyond my expectations and turned out to be a very entertaining film.

I agree. Like I said, the trailer looks great. But the film's success hinges on that if you mentioned. I just find it strange that it's not going to be released this year for Oscar concideration, or wait until April or May. Post a review on Filmcrave when you see it. I've been burned by too many January-February fims in the past, so I'm a tad bit skeptical to see it the first few days it comes out.

If Denzel can channel the same spirit he could in American Gangster and Training Day, I don't care when the movie is released - it will be a worthwhile film.

The last time Denzel Washington played a character from the wrong side of the law, he won an Oscar for it. Ryan Reynolds made Sandra Bullock shine in "The Proposal". The trailer looks great. The only thing that prevents me from getting too excited for the release of this film is the release date. Is the movie so bad that it is warranted a February release? I certainly hope not.
