Safe House Blu-Ray
Buckle-up and prepare to be taken on an intense roller-coaster ride of spectacular action-packed thrills through the streets of Cape Town, when Safe House arrives on shelves and becomes available on Digital Download on Friday 15 June 2012.
Starring Oscar® winner* Denzel Washington alongside Ryan Reynolds, gritty spy thriller Safe House makes an ideal gift for Father’s Day. As well as being available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download, Universal Pictures (UK) Ltd are proud to announce that Safe House will be their first release with revolutionary UltraViolet capabilities, as they join a growing number of studios in the US and the UK who support this exciting new format.
Washington (Training Day, American Gangster) plays the CIA’s most dangerous traitor, who stuns the intelligence community when he surfaces in South Africa. When the safe house to which he’s remanded is attacked by brutal mercenaries, a rookie (Reynolds; X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Green Lantern) is forced to help him escape.
As the masterful manipulator toys with his reluctant protégée, the young operative finds his morality tested and idealism shaken. Now, they must stay alive long enough to uncover who wants them dead.
Directed by Daniel Espinosa, Safe House features an acclaimed supporting cast including Oscar® nominee Vera Farmiga (The Departed; Up in the Air), BAFTA® nominee Brendan Gleeson (Green Zone, The Guard) and Robert Patrick (The X-Files, Terminator 2: Judgment Day). An incredible pulsating soundtrack, including the theme song No Church in the Wild by Jay-Z and Kanye West, is brought to life in rich surround sound.
Legendary spy Tobin Frost (Washington) has eluded capture for almost a decade. One of the best ops men that the CIA has ever trained, the brilliant ex-intelligence officer has betrayed assets and sold military codes to enemies of the state since he turned.
From aiding splinter cells to trading incendiary secrets to the highest bidder, the damage he’s done to the U.S. is immeasurable. Now, Frost is back on the grid with the most explosive intel he’s ever gotten his hands on.
For the past year, Matt Weston (Reynolds) has been frustrated with his inactive, backwater post in Cape Town. A ‘housekeeper’, who aspires to be a fully-fledged case officer, the loyal company man has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself.
When the first and only occupant he’s had proves to be the most dangerous operative he will ever cross, Weston readies for duty.
As soon as Frost is brought in for debriefing, mercenaries in brutal pursuit of Frost come and level Weston’s safe house.
Barely escaping, the veteran spy and untested captor must discover whether their attackers were sent by terrorists or by someone on the inside. With only hours left to get Frost to the next safe house, Weston must figure out who he can trust before he and the world’s most skilful assassin are both eliminated.
