Safehouse

But at least a house, they got that right - no pun intended either way of course. I really liked this - does it have flaws? Of course, it is a low budget movie, some of the acting may seem off, the story has its issues ... but it is really engaging and you have a main character that you can relate to ... getting herself into a situation she has no or little control over ... and that is only the beginning of her ordeal.

Unlike her I would not be able to offer medical assistance - but when I say we can relate to her, I did not mean her attributes or skills .. but rather her situation as a whole ... and being the seemingly decent human being, trying to help as much as possible, even if there doesn't seem to be anything in it for her ... good action, good thriller, good suspense ... with a few neat twists to help move things along ...

A very well done low budget suspense/action/thriller that delivers well, the action is well choreographed, and very believable as many are wounded, the good guys miss a lot, so do the bad guys, and the story follows a logical chain of events. Alondra Delgado (Carla Perez) escapes death from those who killed her brother through an old drug smuggling tunnel that happens to come out into the stable of an old desert ranch which now is a government safe house (hence the title of this movie) things are not as they seem as all hell breaks loose soon after Carla arrives. Nothing questionable, no nudity, some foul language, lots of blood and gore. Good solid entertainment that is not too over the top unbelievable. They do run out of bullets and have to reload a lot, which makes it even more correct. It is not a blockbuster, but for the budget the acting was spot on and well scripted. Enjoy!

Safehouse is a good with some action movie with the right actors, right voices, right action, nothing fancy, just right as far as real life and real events.

The story is strong and the cinematography goes straight following the events. This story looks real and even if the safe house is not that safe, the twists and turns in the story are very interesting and keep the viewer hooked on the truth and the follow-up.of the whole movie.

And the ending is as good as it gets, a note of hope in the harshness of many people's daily lives.

Cherry on the cake, the actors leaves the need of seeing more of them and their work.

One surprise after another. Great acting by the cast. Very believable. Glad I watched it. No sex scenes definitely stand out as a plus. Reveals how 'safe places' only manifest 'safe' due to just the right place at the right time., versus, wrong place at the wrong time. May cause one to wonder how 'safe' our borders sit, and for who. Glad I watched it. Also makes one grateful for the life they lead knowing others face such horrible obstacles. Such is the life of man throughout the world and throughout time. Shows or may say asks the question, "Who can you trust?". The main character well played.

I gave it ten stars, because it completely entertained me! Now, these reviews are required to be very, very long. And, I really don't want to give away the secrets which the film will reveal, as you watch it. I will say this, most low budgets are terrible. Most low budget movies have too many close-ups, too much unnecessary babbling, and not enough satisfying action. Locations or sets cost money. Low budgets don't have money. And some of these "Tubi Originals" are guilty of all of the above. Including bad acting, to go with the lack of real action. This finely done film avoids all of those shortcomings. The acting is done well. The scenery is fascinating! The action was believable, but also tensely exciting. And like any good Western film, a moral lesson is included; where virtue is rewarded, and evil is punished. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which also has live TV.
