4. Safe House
Safe House is, without a doubt, one of my favourite films released in 2012. I have always been a huge fan of not only Denzel Washington, but Ryan Reynolds as well, so I was more than excited by the time I got round to watching it and I was not disappointed. Safe House follows CIA agent Matt Weston, played by Ryan Reynolds, who is acting as a housekeeper at a CIA safe house when it is attacked by men searching for Washington's Tobin Frost, an ex-CIA agent and international criminal. Weston is the only man to survive the attack and is left to keep Frost alive, even if it means defying his own orders. What follows is a plot full of corruption and blazing gunfights as they try to stay alive against all odds, but the standout scene for me was a long, brutal, fight between Weston and another housekeeper at a later CIA safe house they reach for safety. Reynolds more than proved that he could pull off fight scenes every bit as visceral as those seen in the Bourne series of films and a sequel would definitely be welcome. Safe House finishes with Frost dead and Weston exposing high-ranking corruption at the CIA, MI6 and other unnamed agencies, before travelling to Paris to meet Ana, his girlfriend from previously in the film. The sequel could follow directly on from where the plot left off, with the corruption exposed it is likely certain people will be very angry with Weston, maybe leaving him in a Safe House of his own as they attempt to exact revenge.
