Safe - Synopsis:
Safe, directed by Boaz Yakin, is an action-packed thriller that follows the story of a young girl named Mei, whose extraordinary memory holds a priceless numerical code. The movie showcases how Mei finds herself being chased by various groups including the Triads, the Russian mob, and corrupt NYC cops, as everyone is after the code that Mei holds.
The movie is set in New York City, where Mei (played by Catherine Chan), a 10-year-old Chinese girl, is abducted by the Triads, a Chinese organized crime syndicate. The Triads want Mei to memorize a secret code, which will give them access to a large sum of money that they have been keeping in a safe deposit box. Mei manages to escape from the Triads' clutches and finds herself on the streets of New York City.
Meanwhile, we are introduced to Luke Wright (played by Jason Statham), an ex-cage fighter whose life has been destroyed by the Russian mob. He was forced to take a dive during a fight, which resulted in the death of his pregnant wife. Luke has now become a homeless drifter, and his only goal is to seek revenge against those who ruined his life.
Luke comes across Mei, who is being chased by the Triads, and decides to help her. He learns about the code that Mei holds and understands that it could help him get his life back on track. Luke takes it upon himself to protect Mei from the various groups that are after her, including the corrupt NYC cops who are in cahoots with the Triads.
The rest of the movie showcases how Luke and Mei fight off the Triads, the Russian mob, and the corrupt cops, as they try to stay alive and protect the code that Mei holds. The movie is filled with action-packed fight scenes and intense car chases that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
In the end, Mei manages to memorize the code and Luke uses it to his advantage, taking down the Russian mob and the corrupt cops. Mei and Luke part ways, and the movie ends with Luke finally finding redemption for the death of his wife.
Overall, Safe is an intense action thriller that will keep you entertained from start to finish. The movie is well-directed by Boaz Yakin and features strong performances by Jason Statham and Catherine Chan.
