Rotten
The occasional efficient action sequence means that 'Safe' never gets truly dull, but even Statham aficionados might feel short- changed by this one.
Tom Huddleston, Time Out
Overview
After a former elite agent rescues a 12-year-old Chinese girl who's been abducted, they find themselves in the middle of a standoff between Triads, the Russian Mafia and high-level corrupt New York City politicians and police.

Top critics, in their words
Rotten
The thoroughly mediocre Safe provides little more than an excuse for Statham to do what Statham does better than anyone else: look stern while punishing bad guys. That's just not enough.
Ian Buckwalter, The Atlantic
Rotten
It's like another "Transporter'' installment trying to be something slightly more - and not quite delivering the goods.
Tom Russo, Boston Globe
Rotten
Despite some impressively gritty street-level action, Safe plays it far too safe.
Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter

Yeah, "Safe" is a long way from perfect. But rented, in a few months, it'll go great with a six-pack and a hold-the-anchovies special.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
