Actors have to make a living and regular work in average roles is more practical that infrequent parts in quality dramas. As Safe House was available on Netflix UK, I decided to kill a couple of hours and see what actually constitutes as “sub-Tony Scott”.įrankly it is a mystery to me (and Toyah Wilcox) as to why actors of the calibre of Denzel Washington, Brendan Gleeson and Sam Shepard would deign to grace Daniel Espinosa's distinctly average action thriller, other than because it’s easy money. Having recently watched The Equalizer 2, I wanted a further fix of Denzel Washington in a similar action vehicle. Therefore a comment such as this really sets off alarm bells for me. The subtleties of his characters and depth of his themes are all too often drowned out by his frenetic style and fast paced editing. Now I’ve always been conflicted over Scott’s back catalogue, as I’ve always found his movies to be hampered by their own unique style. Before we start, I recollect that one well known UK critic described Safe House as sub-Tony Scott, upon its release.
