They should be renamed Body of Flies and Stale House,lol.

BOL is as rotten as 3 day old roadkill. A bad messy script that is blatant war on terror propaganda. I really thought Crowe was bad in this. Was dude rehearsing his lines or was he chopping down on some Big Macs in between takes. I think Leo thought he was doing a sequel to Blood Diamond,lol.
Grade F

There is a scene in SH where Tobin(Denzel) meets up with an old friend. His friend tells him he looks good. Tobin replies, "I do look good".
Denzel does still look good,lol. He is 57 but looks 47. He does not look tired and weary. I wish could say the same for his latest film.
Safe House is not a terrible film but youv'e seen it before. SH really plays it too safe not much suspense or plot twist, imo. Overall it is kinda boring.
Grade D
