The Marvelous Mary

You've reached the internet house of Mary. She is an eighteen year old, but she will not be casually lumped into the group called "youths." She has a very old soul, and if she had a time machine, she would probably be a part of the expatriate artist movement in Paris in the 1920s. She reads and writes and watches movies and television. Although she is American, she is in love with British culture. She even has an imaginary Irish husband. She will be going to Agnes Scott College. Above all, she is very much a nerd with a pirate's vocabulary and a dry humor.

Any time that there is some peace in Safe House, it is quickly interrupted by a round of bullets, a car crash, or perhaps an explosion. Every ounce of the film is action packed, even in the more sentimental moments, where Ryan Reynold’s character Matt is beat on by his girlfriend after her “dumps” her. As for plot, it did keep you guessing, but it also leans towards cliche at some points. (There’s a corrupt CIA agent and it’s not Denzel Washington?!) But, this was made up for by a wonderful performances from Washington and Reynolds. B-
