More Images from SAFE HOUSE, Plus the First Trailer

At first glance, I didn't care much for Safe House. Yeah I'ma big Reynolds and Denzel fan, but I just didn't really want to bother with this film. I was wrong. I should have been interested in the film from the start. After watching the trailer, the chemistry between Reynolds and Denzel is fantastic. They play two different roles, and the dynamic between the two is pretty damn good. It's also fun watching Denzel playing the bad guy and just how quickly he can go from being charming to being a pure fucking bad-ass. Unfortunately, there is no embed for the trailer yet, so I'll be directing you over to the ITunes website.

To get the trailer and the images, hit the jump. Also starring in Safe House are Brendan Gleeson, Sam Shepard, Vera Farmiga, Liam Cunningham, and Ruban Blades. Safe House opens February 10, 2012.

To watch the trailer, head on over to the ITunes website. Here's the synopsis for the film:

Oscar® winner Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds star in the action-thriller Safe House.  Washington plays the most dangerous renegade from the CIA, who comes back onto the grid after a decade on the run.  When the South African safe house he’s remanded to is attacked by mercenaries, a rookie operative (Reynolds) escapes with him.  Now, the unlikely allies must stay alive long enough to uncover who wants them dead.

For the past year, Matt Weston has been frustrated by his inactive, backwater post in Cape Town.  A “housekeeper” who aspires to be a full-fledged agent, the loyal company man has been waiting for an opportunity to prove himself.  When the first and only occupant he’s had proves to be the most dangerous man he’s ever met, Weston readies for duty.

Tobin Frost has eluded capture for almost a decade.  One of the best ops men that the CIA’s known, the ex-intelligence officer has given up assets and sold military intel to anyone with cash since he turned.  From trading secrets to North Korea to aiding splinter cells, the damage he’s done to the U.S. is immeasurable.  And he’s now back on the reservation with a secret.

As soon as Frost is brought in for debriefing, mercenaries come and tear apart Weston’s safe house.  Barely escaping, the unlikely partners must discover if their attackers have been sent by terrorists or someone on the inside who will kill anyone standing in the way.  Now it’s up to Weston to figure out who he can trust before they’re both eliminated from the game.
