Luke arrives and incapacitates them, thus convincing Mei of his good intentions before he also dispatches some Russians. Hiding in a hotel, Mei explains the number to Luke, who guesses that it is the code to a combination safe. However, Quan tracks Mei down through her cell phone and escapes with her during a diversion as Luke fights through Quan's men. Across town, Captain Wolf meets with Mayor Danny Tremello, who has learned that Luke is involved and cautions Wolf, explaining that Luke was not a regular cop, but a black ops hitman who was loaned by the government as a favor to Tremello by friends in the CIA shortly after 9/11, along with his former partner Alex Rosen. Luke and Alex assassinated several crime bosses as an effort to impose order and Luke quit after exposing Wolf's detective squad as dirty cops.

Luke is living a life of exile as atonement for the things he did for the government. Using Chemyakin's phone, Luke sets up Vassily and kidnaps him. Emile reluctantly accepts a deal for his son's life, explaining that Mei's number unlocks a heavily guarded safe in Chinatown with $30 million, though he does not know the contents of a second safe. Needing a team to get to the safe, Luke recruits Wolf and his detectives. Together, they fight through numerous Triad gangsters to reach the safe. As Luke is about to open it, Wolf attempts to betray him, but Luke kills the remaining detectives and takes Wolf hostage. Using the money, Luke bribes Alex, who is now the mayor's aide and boyfriend, into rescuing Mei. Alex reveals the second safe belongs to the mayor, containing a disc with data on every crime syndicate in New York. Alex meets and kills Quan and his men as Mei watches.

Meanwhile, Luke assaults the mayor and retrieves a copy of the mayor's disc. Alex and Luke arrange a meeting, but Luke refuses to surrender the money and instead suggests that they settle it with a fight. Before they can begin, Mei shoots Alex, wounding him and Luke finishes him off. In the aftermath, Luke gives $50,000 to Wolf and instructs him to return Vassily to his father unharmed. He sends the remainder of the money to Han to buy Mei's freedom, threatening to ruin Han's operations should Han try to recover Mei. Han leaves New York City in disgust, as Luke hides multiple copies of the disc throughout the city. Luke and Mei make plans to leave the city and head west to Seattle where Mei can enroll in a school for gifted children. When Mei asks if they are finally safe, Luke responds that they will take it one day at a time.

Peter Travers, the film critic for Rolling Stone, gave the film 2 stars out of a possible 4, and said that "the trouble with Safe is that you know where it's going every step of the way". He also added that "Between the fists, kicks, bullets, car chases and broken trachea, the movie could have milked the sentiment of that relationship until you puked. But Statham and the scrappy Chan play it hard. The restraint becomes them. Statham is still playing it safe in Safe, but vulnerability is showing through the cracks."[11] Claudia Puig of USA Today gave the film a moderately positive review, saying that "Yakin's slick direction, marked by quick cuts, unstinting energy and a lack of sentimentality, makes the action scenes satisfying," but thought the dialogue was "riddled with clichs."[12] Robert Abele of the Los Angeles Times scored the film 3/5, saying "Yakin gives his star plenty of room to look mean, think fast, drive faster, punch, quip, mow down and charismatically bond with the most imperiled child character in screen memory."[13] Kim Newman gave the film four stars out of five in Empire, describing it as "A rough, exhausting, exhilarating action picture with a payoff which would have delighted Sam Fuller or Howard Hawks".[14]

She has the code. He is the key. And no one is safe! Collider has unveiled the official theatrical poster for Boaz Yakin's Safe, the new action-thriller starring Jason Statham due out this spring (watch the trailer). While we've seen plenty of badass shots of Statham before, and lots of gun-pointed-at-the-camera imagery, this poster combines those two elements with some lush colors to deliver an eye-catching action design. I'm sure they're trying to make sure this poster stands out in the crowd of action flicks coming up, and putting Statham posed like this was definitely a smart idea. I like it, and I'm looking forward to seeing this movie.

A former elite agent takes on a two-tier mission: rescue a Chinese girl who's been abducted by the Triads, then use a safe combination to outwit the Russian Mafia, corrupt NYC officials, and the Triads themselves.

Not that Statham pulls any punches as former NYPD cop and amateur fighter Luke Wright, who becomes the accidental guardian to young Mei (Catherine Chan), an immigrant math prodigy forced by mobsters to memorize the combination to a cash-packed safe. Thankfully, there are no tender parental moments: Mei is just an excuse for Luke to beat the borscht out of the Russians who killed his family (hence that tear), face down an old rival (a slick and slippery Anson Mount) and settle a few other scores. At any rate, Mei is no cuddly urchin, rapidly transforming from quivering schoolgirl to steely-eyed survivor.

Of course, Statham did not become the Billion Dollar Man by pandering to arthouse ambiguity. He clearly knows his target audience and has little interest in challenging them, or himself. But where once he was tipped as a prospective successor to Willis, career choices like this one suggests he is happy to settle for being the new Chuck Norris. For all its surface grit and dark undertow, Safe plays it very safe indeed.

I assume the title is meant to be ironic, possessing all the subtlety of Jason Statham hitting you repeatedly in the head with a shovel. I don't think that actually happens in "Safe," but given the impressive body count piled up by Statham's character, an ex-MMA cage fighter (and ex-NYPD officer, and ex other things I'm not supposed to tell you about) named Luke, I wouldn't be surprised. No one and nothing is ever safe in "Safe," and no one is decent or trustworthy, with the possible and partial exception of Mei (Catherine Chan), a kidnapped 11-year-old Chinese girl whom Luke fastens on to as his vehicle of redemption. Luke would be the first to tell you -- in Statham's put-on but entertaining Noo Yawk wise-guy accent -- that he's a bad dude in all senses of the term. But he's also one of those action-movie heroes who's lost everything and everyone he's ever cared about and has decided to go out with guns blazing to fight for whatever flickers of decency still exist in this crazy freakin' world.

By the end of "Safe," multiple gangs and agents are converging on Wright in an effort to get to Mei. She holds the key to a more than $30 million dollar score in a Chinese vault. But there's a second code and vault belonging to Mayor Tremello which contains information that can take down every criminal organization in the city. Wright knows that to keep Mei safe he's going to have to get the money and the disc before the Russians, which means getting the second code from Alex and killing his way through a horde of Triad goons.

Jason Statham plays a former elite agent who has plenty of enemies on his tail when he agrees to rescue and protect a young girl (Catherine Chan), as well as carry secret intelligence about a safe combination.

 Ambiguously Gay: Alex. It's possible that Luke's reference to him as Mayor Tremello's "boyfriend" is meant as a taunt, but Alex's comment that Tremello is "a better catch" than Luke's late wife, and admission that he and Tremello intend to retire to a villa in Bali, seem to imply that he really IS the mayor's boyfriend. Anti-Climax: The final fight between Luke and Alex sets them up as equals, and seems to be about to offer an all-out badass brawl, but it turns out that Alex forgot that his Living MacGuffin could pick up the gun he just put down and shoot him. Badass and Child Duo: Luke and Mei. Badass in a Nice Suit: The first thing Luke does after taking out the first group of Russians? Buys a nice suit with the contents of their wallets. Blackmail: At the end, Luke and Mei force the Triad leader to back off by giving him nearly the entire $30 million as repayment (and intend to repay the missing $50k with interest), then warning that Mei can expose his entire operation in an instant if he even thinks of trying to harass them further. Brick Joke: Luke gets pickpocketed by a guy early in the film. Later, when another guy bumps into him in the same way as before, he checks to see if he still has his wallet. Can't Kill You, Still Need You: Subverted with Mei. The interested parties want her taken alive if possible, but will settle for killing her if necessary as a No MacGuffin, No Winner scenario to maintain the status quo. Luke forces Alex into a Let's Fight Like Gentlemen match by playing coy about where he hid the money and only willing to tell if Alex can beat him in a straight fight. Mei shoots Alex when he's distracted and Luke finishes him off. Catchphrase: "Good/Bad business" for Mei, depending on how the situation will end. Casualty in the Ring: Luke's Establishing Character Moment is (accidentally) putting a guy into a coma in an MMA fight. Concealment Equals Cover: Subverted. Several gangsters that take refuge behind a table are just easier targets for Luke and his machine gun. Crapsack World: Mei is the only character in the movie that isn't some kind of scumbag. Even Luke is a former killer, albeit one with official sanction from the mayor. Curbstomp Battle: The Russians find a guy on Youtube to fight Luke, a professional fighter, and it goes about as well as you expect. Luke accidentally puts the kid up in a coma from a single punch, which he only threw because he wanted the fight to at least look somewhat real. In the beginning, Luke gets the snot beaten out of him in the ring, by mobsters, and by dirty cops. Once he gets dangerous, he flips this completely on its head. Dirty Cop: Almost every cop that comes onscreen is either dirty or dies ten seconds later. Luke is the only cop who wasn't dirty, and that earned him the hatred of the entire force for ratting on them and forcing them to be actual public servants. Luke was secretly a Killer Cop instead, specially hired to kill high profile criminals. Double-Meaning Title: Safe most obviously refers to Luke keeping Mei safe, but later in the movie, it's clear that it's referring to the fact that the code is a combination to, well, a safe. Driven to Suicide: Luke, early in the movie. He went to the subway and planned on throwing himself on the tracks until he found something Worth Living For. Evil Teacher: Mai's corrupt school headmaster tips off the triad gangsters to her talents, and is complicit in her abduction. Fate Worse than Death: Vasily's plan for Luke is simple. They'll keep someone trailing Luke, and anyone that he interacts with on a level above that of simple purchase, they'll kill. The idea is to drive him to suicide. It doesn't exactly work out. To force his father's cooperation, Luke threatens to do unspeakable but survivable things to Vasily to make him talk, and then use that information to ruin the Russian mob. Luke also threatens to shoot the mayor in places that won't kill but will make him wish it had. Fingore: Possibly the only action movie to show someone injuring themselves with a ricochet and severing their trigger finger in the process while trying to shoot a lock open. Funny Background Event: Luke backing into the crooked detective with his own car, stopping to fasten Mei's seat belt, then driving into the same guy as he makes his getaway. Both times with the cop in question tumbling over the entire car, visible through the windshield and the rearview mirror. Oh, and the Triads and Russians are shooting at the car and each other the whole time. Good with Numbers: Mei is a mathematical prodigy, and this leads her school headmaster to hand her over to a triad gang-leader. I Will Punish Your Friend for Your Failure: The Mafiya kills Luke's wife, and will kill anyone he befriends. Mei works for the Triad because they will kill her mother if she doesn't. Karma Houdini: Justified in the case of Mayor Tromello, Uncle Han and Emile, all of whom are strictly non-action villains who never directly interact with Luke. Vassily and Wolf are both released largely unscathed at the end of the film, the latter with some of the cash as compensation for his trouble. Kick the Dog: In the film's opening minutes: Luke, already feeling extremely guilty over putting a kid in a coma, comes home to find that his wife has been brutally murdered, told that she was pregnant, and given a Fate Worse than Death (see above) rather than the bullet in the head he was expecting. Law of Inverse Recoil: Mei shoots Alex having presumably never handled a gun before. Not only is she barely able to hit him (she fires twice and the first shot misses entirely), but the recoil of the gun makes her fall over backwards. Living MacGuffin: Everyone wants Mei for the information she has in her head. The Mafiya: One of the factions that want Mei. Manly Tears: Possibly the first movie Jason Statham is seen crying. Parental Substitute: Quan Chang is forced upon Mei as her new "father". Later, Luke doubts if he'll ever be a good father figure to Mei but promises to be her friend until his dying day. The Penance: Luke lets himself get beaten to a pulp in cage fights to atone for his numerous kills and shady dealings as an cop/wetworks expert. Pet the Dog: Mei attempts to cover for an underperforming business, knowing that the Triad will harshly punish it. Photographic Memory: Mei flawlessly remembers any number sequence given to her. The Triads take her because it allows them to keep all their bookkeeping in her head, effectively destroying any paper trail. The Pig-Pen: Partway through the film, Luke gets a shave and a haircut as well as a nice suit but Mei complains that he hasn't washed and still stinks like a homeless man. Platonic Prostitution: Luke hires a streetwalker to pose as his wife so he will seem less out-of-place when entering a certain restaurant, then sends her away before the violence begins. Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You: Jason Statham is about to shoot you in the crotch. Shoot Out the Lock: Subverted, someone tries and just winds up hurting himself with the ricochet. "Shut Up!" Gunshot: Captain Wolf does this in the nightclub, demanding for its occupants to leave. Spotting the Thread: Luke is able to deduce the relevance of the number sequence given to Mei simply by asking a few questions about any irregularities she may have noticed in the sequence. Springtime for Hitler: Luke attempts to throw a fight, but the guy he's up against is so inept that Luke puts him into a coma just from making a half-assed effort to make the fight look good. Targeted to Hurt the Hero: Luke's wife is killed as punishment for him not throwing a fight. As was the homeless man at the shelter he was in. Throwing the Fight: The one in-timeline example of this trope is subverted: Luke fails rather than refuses to throw the fight because his opponent is that much of a wimp by comparison. Implied to have been played straight many times in the past. The Triads and the Tongs: One of the four major factions (the others being The Mafiya, Dirty Cops, and Luke). Too Dumb to Live: Ling is described as such by Mei because the former gave all the information the Russian Mafia wanted and now they can kill her off. Worth Living For: Protecting Mei is what stops Luke from killing himself early in the movie. You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: Or as Mei calls it, "good business." She's quickly realized that when someone outlives their usefulness, they get killed. She's not wrong. 2351a5e196
