I wish that brilliant acting, exciting action sequences and a gritty directoral vision were enough, but sadly Safe House falls so short in it's most vital area; the script.
Wafer thin, riddled with a set-up that is poorly executed, concluded or even explained the story is so blind in the belief that it is clever it's unforgivable. Mix in a twist so pain numbingly obvious you can see it coming within five minutes and it's clear the script is so poor it hurts like a fork to the eye.
