I am a big Denzel fan but I did not enjoy this movie, for a movie of the suspense genre it doesnt even try to surprise you, I was waiting for the twist to discover there wasnt one, the only redeeming value of the movie is the good acting of Denzel and Ryan Reynolds and some OK action sequences, I really wanted to like this movie but you cant help the feeling that you've seen this a hundred times.

The movie tells the story of an ambitious "house keeper" of a CIA safe house in southern Afrika who wants to raise in ranks and become a CIA agent. However he is held back until the day a rouge agent is brought in for questioning. The house gets attacked and the house keeper has to flee with the agent, being targeted by the rouge agent, the misterious attackers, the South African police and getting no help by his people... To list the positive aspects first: The acting of Ryan Raynolds and Denzel Washington is good - but somehow that was to be espected. The action shots are interesting but not as exciting as they could be. The story however feels highly constructed, and in its essence forseeable. Also, there are some scenes that make absolutely no sense, for instance, why while car chasing do the bad guys first install their silencers before they start shooting? And why did they take them off, after using them in the attack previous to the car chase? Those scenes that make you question the logic are somewhat aclimatic, which is also not in the movies favour. It is never boring but it is never so good as to be as exciting and interesting as other movies of this genre - take for example the current bond movies or the Bourne series. In my opinion, if you want a light movie night with friends where you spend more time talking then serious watching, then this movie is all right - but for a serious movie night you can choose far better.

I was waiting to see this one for a while denzel being my favourite actor & it was good i did like it but wasn't quite as good as i thought it would be but still a great watch & would recommend it.

Predictable but still enjoyable, it also moves along at a nice pace.

Pretty decent movie. I dont like Denzel though. His acting is always the same but it fits this time.
