Olivia Wilde was enough to make me like it.

Looked up some reviews on both. Not great, which is disappointing.
Safehouse was your typical modern-CIA-espionage movie. Lots of paranoia and guns; would have been better with someone who wasn't Ryan Reynolds as the lead. Denzel was his typical crazy self, still good at it, too. Brendan Gleeson? You see Green Zone? His character here pretty much picks up from where that character left off.
Movie was decent for what it was. Nothing I'd buy, but nothing I'm mad I spent time on.
The Raid.
Now that my mind isn't blown anymore, I think I can sufficiently review this. First off, this movie blew my mind even after I came in knowing what to expect. But the fight choreography, the brutality, the length of the fights... man. I was still caught by surprise. And none of it was blown out of proportion a la Crouching Tiger. The fights were just brutal. Hand to hand usually, but knives, batons, machetes, household appliances, they all make appearances.
Now, there's no background heading into the story. It's just following one rookie from when he wakes up that fateful morning, with no details, to learning who their target is on the way to the project. But that's not why anyone who watches this movie is here.
All in all, this is one of the most entertaining movies I've seen in years. The relentless action, the music, and one person's fighting in particular (Mad Dog)... I can see why it won a couple film festival awards. If you guys like any of Jet Li's or Chow-Yun Fat's movies, you'll love this. See it if it's in a theater near you. It'll be gone soon.
