For many Ryan Reynolds fans, his career is summed up as before Deadpool and after Deadpool. While the actor did star in memorable films before playing the Merc with a Mouth, the first half of his resume is peppered with many disappointments. But now that anything he touches instantly acquires the potential to be a rousing success, even his past critical and/or commercial failures are getting a spotlight. For instance, a decade-old action film starring the actor that got bashed for its dull and often senseless screenplay has successfully managed to make Alexa rethink her existence.
The film in question is 2012’s Safe House starring Reynolds as rookie CIA agent Matt Weston who is assigned the task of guarding Denzel Washington’s master spy Tobin Frost. The duo is soon busy demolishing half the city and unsuspecting pedestrians as they drop one unnecessary and pointless action sequence after another. But despite its shortcomings and not managing to woo all critics, it did do well in terms of box office earnings. There were talks of a sequel, but thankfully, those plans were never finalized.
It joined Netflix’s massive film library towards the end of 2021. But unlike the countless titles that enjoy long-term residence on the streamer, Safe House left within mere weeks.
