Matt Weston (‘Ryan Reynolds’ ) is a CIA rookie who is manning a safe house in Cape Town, South Africa, when Tobin Frost (Denzel Washington) the CIA’s most wanted rogue agent is captured and taken to the safe house. During Frost’s interrogation, the safe house is overtaken by mercenaries who want Frost. Weston and Frost escape and must stay out of the gunmen’s sight until they can get to another safe house.

Two excellent actors in a fast paced, action-packed Jason Bourne-esque movie. Ryan Reynolds does a great job in this serious role. Denzel Washington, as expected, is in his element. The two characters have a synergistic relationship and keep the pace of the movie going.

A lot of gratuitous violence and collateral damage.

Rating: 4.3 out of 5
