Ryan Reynolds is often cast in comedic roles, but the Canadian actor has an impressively broad acting range. In Safe House, Reynolds plays opposite Denzel Washington, and he's not cracking jokes in this Jason Bourne-like, gritty action thriller. If you haven't seen Safe House, Reynolds demonstrates he can play serious roles exceptionally well, too.
Safe House is about a rogue CIA operative (Denzel Washington) who is being interrogated at a CIA safe house in South Africa when it comes under attack, and the life and survival of its "guest" are the responsibility of the "housekeeper" (Ryan Reynolds).
The Equalizer films also star Denzel Washington as a former intelligence operative, and they've been highly successful. In contrast, Safe House is so underappreciated, and it's more action-packed than The Equalizer movies. It's not exactly a buddy film, but Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds were magnificent together in Safe House.
