Safehouse

A very well done low budget suspense/action/thriller that delivers well, the action is well choreographed, and very believable as many are wounded, the good guys miss a lot, so do the bad guys, and the story follows a logical chain of events. Alondra Delgado (Carla Perez) escapes death from those who killed her brother through an old drug smuggling tunnel that happens to come out into the stable of an old desert ranch which now is a government safe house (hence the title of this movie) things are not as they seem as all hell breaks loose soon after Carla arrives. Nothing questionable, no nudity, some foul language, lots of blood and gore. Good solid entertainment that is not too over the top unbelievable. They do run out of bullets and have to reload a lot, which makes it even more correct. It is not a blockbuster, but for the budget the acting was spot on and well scripted. Enjoy!

Safehouse is a decent movie, but fails to be a good action movie as Tubi claims it is ( steering way closer to a thriller then an action movie)

The cinematography is really good, the voice acting is good, and the use of suspense and foreshadowing is also pretty good though the suspense can feel somewhat manufactured at times. The cinematography makes it kind of feel like it's steering towards the direction that you'd find in documentaries at times so interjects some action and Thriller elements into it.

I don't really understand the story or what's really happening within the overarching story when it comes to the scene to scene events.

Overall it's a pretty decent movie but definitely not something to brag about.

But at least a house, they got that right - no pun intended either way of course. I really liked this - does it have flaws? Of course, it is a low budget movie, some of the acting may seem off, the story has its issues ... but it is really engaging and you have a main character that you can relate to ... getting herself into a situation she has no or little control over ... and that is only the beginning of her ordeal.

Unlike her I would not be able to offer medical assistance - but when I say we can relate to her, I did not mean her attributes or skills .. but rather her situation as a whole ... and being the seemingly decent human being, trying to help as much as possible, even if there doesn't seem to be anything in it for her ... good action, good thriller, good suspense ... with a few neat twists to help move things along ...

I gave it ten stars, because it completely entertained me! Now, these reviews are required to be very, very long. And, I really don't want to give away the secrets which the film will reveal, as you watch it. I will say this, most low budgets are terrible. Most low budget movies have too many close-ups, too much unnecessary babbling, and not enough satisfying action. Locations or sets cost money. Low budgets don't have money. And some of these "Tubi Originals" are guilty of all of the above. Including bad acting, to go with the lack of real action. This finely done film avoids all of those shortcomings. The acting is done well. The scenery is fascinating! The action was believable, but also tensely exciting. And like any good Western film, a moral lesson is included; where virtue is rewarded, and evil is punished. Seen on Tubi, the free streaming site; which also has live TV.

One surprise after another. Great acting by the cast. Very believable. Glad I watched it. No sex scenes definitely stand out as a plus. Reveals how 'safe places' only manifest 'safe' due to just the right place at the right time., versus, wrong place at the wrong time. May cause one to wonder how 'safe' our borders sit, and for who. Glad I watched it. Also makes one grateful for the life they lead knowing others face such horrible obstacles. Such is the life of man throughout the world and throughout time. Shows or may say asks the question, "Who can you trust?". The main character well played.
