Empire
"A rough, exhausting, exhilarating action picture with a payoff which would have delighted Sam Fuller or Howard Hawks."
Total Film
"With Yakin's all-action plot operating like clockwork, an on-song Statham proves anything but expendable in a genre he dominates. Predictable, sure, but equally pleasurable."
Time Out
"The occasional efficient action sequence means that Safe never gets truly dull, but even Statham aficionados might feel short- changed by this one."
