Entertainment Reviews:
The film's super-saturated look and quick cutting are mere substitutes for any real sense of intrigue.

New Yorker
Rating: C+ --
Probably so, it was fun and does what it does pretty well. Don't go in looking for a transcendent experience of film cause that's not what it is supposed to do.

Rating: 1/5 --
There are so many muscly, gun-toting guys having bloody brawls, it looks like some online research has been carried out to see what niche audience might appreciate this film most.

Rating: 1/5 --
There's much to be said for nuts-and-bolts action thrillers when they are competently assembled. But this one is falling apart at the fastenings.

3 stars out of 5 -- [D]irector Espinosa infuses his production with some bold choices, both in terms of technics and twists. The film's action sequences are absolutely top-notch...
Box Office
Rating: 2/4 --
Plays it safe at every turn, and the result is a film that just can't compete with its own clear influences.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
Rating: 2/5 --
Spends most of its 117-minute running time much like its central characters -- tearing madly around, making a lot of noise and not really getting very far.

Product Description:
A rookie CIA operative goes on the run with a rogue former intelligence officer after a South African safe house comes under attack by heavily armed mercenaries. Matt Weston (Ryan Reynolds) is a CIA agent just waiting for the perfect opportunity to prove himself. But that's no easy task when you've been cooped up in an empty Cape Town safe house for a whole year. Weston realizes that a prime opportunity is headed his way, however, when he learns that former agent Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) has been captured after nearly a decade on the run. Frost is about to become Weston's one and only guest at the safe house, and the fledgling agent is determined to handle the situation like a true professional. But by selling U.S. secrets to countries like North Korea, Frost has made more than his fair share of enemies in high places, and shortly after he arrives at the safe house, all hell breaks loose. A small army of gunmen are determined to see Frost dead. Meanwhile, Weston will do everything in his power to protect Frost, regardless of his crimes. Now Weston's only hope for getting out of this alive is to find out who's gunning for them, and seek out someone he can trust before it's too late.
