“Safe House” is a 2012 action-thriller film directed by Daniel Espinosa and starring Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds. The plot revolves around a rookie CIA agent named Matt Weston (played by Reynolds) who is tasked with looking after a safe house in South Africa, which is meant to serve as a temporary holding place for a notorious rogue agent named Tobin Frost (played by Washington).
However, things quickly go awry when the safe house is attacked by heavily armed mercenaries, forcing Weston and Frost to go on the run together. As they try to evade their pursuers, Weston realizes that Frost may be the only person who can help him figure out what is really going on and who is behind the attack on the safe house.
The film received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising the performances of the two lead actors and the intense action sequences, while others criticized the predictable plot and lack of character development.
