Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds In New Thriller
Denzel Washington is back in bad-ass mode in the new thriller Safe House that co-stars Ryan Reynolds. It’s always fun watching Denzel play the bad guy, especially after his memorable performance in ‘Training Day’ as the corrupt cop.
Set in South Africa, Denzel plays rogue CIA agent Tobin Frost, who comes in from the cold after years of eluding capture with some information to trade. Transported to a Safe house for debriefing, Reynolds plays the ‘housekeeper’ and rookie CIA agent Matt Weston who’s also looking for chance to prove himself. When the house is attacked by mercenaries, the two must team up to survive and discover the truth.
From director Daniel Espinosa, it looks like a very cool flick with a strong dynamic between stars Washington and Reynolds, with plenty of action and intrigue to keep you guessing.
The film also stars Brendan Gleeson, Sam Shepard, Vera Farmiga, Fares Fares, Robert Patrick, Nora Arnezeder, Liam Cunningham, Joel Kinnaman, and Ruben Blades.
Here’s the synopsis:
Oscar® winner Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds star in the action-thriller Safe House. Washington plays the most dangerous renegade from the CIA, who comes back onto the grid after a decade on the run. When the South African safe house he’s remanded to is attacked by mercenaries, a rookie operative (Reynolds) escapes with him. Now, the unlikely allies must stay alive long enough to uncover who wants them dead.
For the past year, Matt Weston has been frustrated by his inactive, backwater post in Cape Town. A “housekeeper” who aspires to be a full-fledged agent, the loyal company man has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself. When the first and only occupant he’s had proves to be the most dangerous man he’s ever met, Weston readies for duty.
Tobin Frost has eluded capture for almost a decade. One of the best ops men that the CIA’s known, the ex-intelligence officer has given up assets and sold military intel to anyone with cash since he turned. From trading secrets to North Korea to aiding splinter cells, the damage he’s done to the U.S. is immeasurable. And he’s now back on the reservation with a secret.
As soon as Frost is brought in for debriefing, mercenaries come and tear apart Weston’s safe house. Barely escaping, the unlikely partners must discover if their attackers have been sent by terrorists or someone on the inside who will kill anyone standing in the way. Now it’s up to Weston to figure out who he can trust before they’re both eliminated from the game.
Safe House opens February 10, 2012.
