Safe

Last night I was a little tired, and did not want to watch a movie that required any thought or reading subtitles. I was in the mood for a mindless movie. I found one, Safe, a Jason Statham movie.  Do I have say any more because all of his movies are exactly the same with different characters and locations. Nonetheless, I will tell you about Safe.

Luke Wright (Statham) is an underground cage fighter, trying to make ends meet by getting pummeled and paid to lose.  After one night of putting an up-and-coming fighter in a coma, Wright upsets the wrong people and the Russian mob kill his family and give him an ultimatum.  They won’t kill him, only every single person he ever gets close to.  He can end it all by killing himself.  

Wright eventually becomes a swaggering, alcoholic wino, stumbling the streets of New York City, descending into a pit of suicidal desperation until he spots Mei (Catherine Chen), a Chinese prodigal 11-year-old girl, in a train station on the run from the same Russian mob that killed Wright’s family.   Wright saves Mei in a realization that she represents a second chance for him, and in turn uncovers an all out war between the Russian mob, the Chinese mob, and a group of dirty cops, out to get Wright for a previous time that he screwed them over…when he was a cop.

I think you get the idea. If you want to see Jason Statham kill lots of people with guns and his hands, then watch this film.
