I saw this in Glasgow tonight along with a growing pack of Glasgow Fmukers o/ and have to say that I did like it (though until last night I didn't even know what the film was about).
I was very impressed with the small girl's command of Mathematics though I'm not sure if that means she would necessarily have a photographic memory!
Anyway, like others, I did struggle at times to know who was shooting who :confused: . . . . :X I wonder what the body count was for the film???
I thought the acting was fairly well done and it was nice to see some older actors being resurrected.
I think it's highly possible there will be a Safe 2! :roll:
Glad I've seen the film and would not have been disappointed if I'd pa*d!

Marks 7/10

Finally got to watch this film.

Thought it was quite funny at times. Liked the action and pace. Was even quite chuffed to find subtitles - seem to be watching more and more movies with at least some subtitles nowadays.

Can't comment on the characterisation and plot, other than they were oft comical and diluted.

Did like overall.

I went in with very low expectations to last night's preview and quite enjoyed it. Not the best film ever but a good fun action movie. The wobbly camera was a bit much at times.

Saw this today. Well that hit the spot for my kickass action movie fix. I mean this is more like it! Full on proper action movie. Relentless, exciting and violently satisfying on the Statham kickass scale. He does his best laconic dont give a damn badass attitude. The story is not terribly inventive but it zips along at an incredibly rip-roaring pace. The action sequences, both gunfights and martial arts combat are fast and furious but edited brilliantly with much more clarity and flow than most most modern action films. The storyline is fun too and of course outrageous.

This is one for the hardcore brutal action movie fans. Statham in top form. Love it.

8/10

I must watch Crank, everyone tells me to
You've not seen Crank? Shame on you... that's ultimate Statham cheese, it's so bad it's brilliant!!! I'm not gonna mention the obvious scene in Chinatown :)

...and it does have a claim to fame - one of the worst endings in movie history - but you love it all the more
Hey Crank is not "bad, its brilliant"...its just brilliant ;)...and I love that ending, no way is it the worse in history!

He was laughing at what I was saying to the girl who I had asked to take the photo of me and him, she was shaking so much holding my camera, that I said "your hands are shaking!!" and he was saying "that's gonna be a brilliant photo!" That's my hair on the right of the photo.

Lol, her hands were shaking so much, she missed you out almost completely! I think it is a brilliant photo, at least she got a bit of you in the frame :P
