Safe Movie

A 2011 Movie Poster of SAFE!!

I've always been a fan of action movies with the lead protecting children. This film actually reminded me of Korea's "The Man from Nowhere", but I know and it's safe to say that SAFE, from the synopsis they gave is safe from being a copycat of any predictable action film.

The Jason Statham starrer is about a second-rate cage fighter on the mixed martial arts circuit, Luke Wright (Jason Statham), lives a numbing life of routine beatings and chump change…until the day he blows a rigged fight. Wanting to make an example of him, the Russian Mafia murders his family and banishes him from his life forever, leaving Luke to wander the streets of New York destitute, haunted by guilt, and tormented by the knowledge that he will always be watched, and anyone he develops a relationship with will also be killed.

But when Luke witnesses a frightened twelve-year-old Chinese girl, Mei (Catherine Chan), being pursued by the same gangsters who killed his wife, Luke impulsively jumps to action…and straight into the heart of a deadly high-stakes war. Mei, he discovers, is no ordinary girl, but an orphaned math prodigy forced to work for the Triads as a ‘counter’ He discovers she holds in her memory a priceless numerical code that the Triads, the Russian mob and a corrupt faction of the NYPD will kill for. Realizing he’s the only person Mei can trust, Luke tears a swath through the city’s brutal underworld to save an innocent girl’s life…and perhaps even redeem his own.”

The movie Safe is set to hit theaters on April 27, 2012.
