Went to see this movie yesterday during opening weekend. Typically anything with Denzel Washington is at least going to be entertaining and Ryan Reynolds has been doing some great movies as well. The movie is about an ex CIA agent Tobin Frost (Denzel) who has turned traitor and is selling information to the highest bidder. He gets his hands on some sort of list and a nasty undisclosed group is doing a great job of almost killing him. To get away from them he turns himself into the American Consulate in South Africa where he's diverted to a safe house that is manned by Matt Weston (Ryan). As one would expect someone in the CIA is a mole and the undisclosed group breaks into the safe house. Lots of shooting, running, blowing stuff up, running away fro with cops through soccer stadiums, car chases, fights with shards of broken glass & good old fashion punching ensue for lots of fun. My only complaint was that there were only 2 options for who the bad guy/girl is in the CIA and Heather and I figured it out a little early. Overall though the movie was more about the action than mystery so I don't think it took too much away from the film. This one's not going to win any Oscars but it's a great way to spend a couple hours.
