Safe
Jason Statham is equally adept at roundhouse kicks and existential brooding. And while not every Statham vehicle is created equal, Safe is better than most; though it's formulaic to the bone, the film is gritty and exciting thanks in large part to its star's charisma and acrobatics. Statham stars as Luke Wright, an ultimate fighter who botches a fixed fight, drawing the ire of the mafia. However, when he rescues and protects a 12-year-old girl with valuable information in her head, the two are pursued by both mobsters and corrupt government officials. Safe is really predictable, but it's an efficient, tough yarn that should satisfy adrenaline junkies.
