Safe Trailer: Jason Statham Project #435, Adorable Moppet Edition

By TK | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (10)

Jason-Statham-and-Catherine-Chan-in-Safe-2011-Movie-Image-1-e1321230278287.jpgIt’s starting to feel like The Statham puts out a dozen movies a year, you know? He’s had four movies released in 2011 and has at least three more slated for next year. The man isn’t big on quality over quantity, and that’s probably because audiences eat up his particular brand of cocksure, acrobatic asskicking. Hell, I know I do.

As is the case with most action stars, at some point you gotta do the kid picture, and it’s Statham’s turn. For him, the kid picture is Safe, where he plays a grizzled ex-cop who rescues a young girl who has a secret and everyone is out to get them and blah blah blah just fucking punch someone already, would you?

Here’s the trailer.

Um, was Mr. Statham going for some sort of American accent? He really ought not to.

I love moppets! And why haven't I paid more attention to The Statham?

I'll watch it. I mean, Statham and all...

Kind of looks like The Man From Nowhere, except things actually happen in this movie.

I think I saw this one before, only more interesting. I think Bruce Willis was in it...

Oh yeah, The Mercury Puzzle. Only that this time, the only thing that made the movie interesting isn't in it.


Also: Maynard, I'm disappointed in you. Isn't your vineyard paying enough?

Does he wear a tutu?

Didn't Statham do the adorable moppet thing in Transporter 2? But I digress.

I am powerless against the glory of the Statham.

Ok, TK, I'm pretty sure this isn't the action kid movie. This one is rated R. That's certainly not Vin Diesel's PG The Pacifier or Dwayne Johnson's PG Tooth Fairy. It's not Schwarzenegger's PG-13 Last Action Hero or Stallone's PG Over the Top.

This is more on par with Bruce Willis's R rated Mercury Rising. In fact, the plot even sounds the same.

I think Statham's "kid movie" was his PG-13 Transporter 2.

TK, does any movie with a kid in it constitute a kid picture?

Do these count?
Let the Right One In
Larry Clark's Kids

2 examples, and bing... my mind went blank.
Nice job, Scott.

Wow...Jason has simply become Bruce. I mean...Miko Hughes has morphed into a chinese girl, but hey, Bruce Willis aged backwards into Jason.

Mercury Rising isn't THAT terrible. It certainly didn't need a reboot.

Did the chick from The Transporter go back in time?

And you leave Maynard alone! Grapes are expensive!
