LOS ANGELES TIMES: Kenneth Turan
Though Safe House may be too violent and nihilistic for everyone’s taste, it does have several crackerjack action sequences. |

The New York Times: Manohla Dargis
Essentially and very effectively a rollicking smash-and-crash chase movie that happens to be surprisingly well acted. |

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Owen Gleiberman
Compared with a superior potboiler like “Salt,” which messed with your brain in entertainingly far-fetched ways, Safe House is action-movie porridge gussied up into a less-clever-than-it-seems mystery. |

Safe House has two powerful performances at its core, a hectic plot, a huge body count and a mild sense of déjà vu amid the pulse-quickening tension. |
