Entertaining film, not as bad as some of the reviews are making out. If you got nothing better to do it'll pass an evening. Not sure what to make of the ending but served a purpose. I don't look for any deep meaning in a pop song written by a 15 year old and the plot of a film don't gotta be water tight for me to enjoy it. And this film has a fair amount of action and comedy moments which is what I watched it for. Hater's always gonna hate.
I'll jump straight to it. Good start, action packed then it kinda drifted a little and lost me around the whole family stuff. I ain't got a family no more so can't relate as they would never have looked out for me like that. It's a cruel world so whatever. Anyways, I think it needed to focus on just the baddies cos I kinda liked them. More of the spy stuff and knocking down doors for me. Too much soft soppy 'are you ok?' goose bosh that makes me cringe. But hey, that's just me. Maybe you like that emotional stuff and lets look out for the family kinda movie. Just the ending needed to go on a bit, you know, like lead somewhere. Maybe we find out that the Dad guy was in on it with the baddies. Who knows, who cares. I never like movie endings. Don't care if you disagree. I gotta beat. Peace.
I watched this expecting an action thriller and it's mostly that. After watching it last night I must say I very much enjoyed it, and I dont understand why some whine over a film thats so subjective. If its not your taste, move on. It has a good storyline, solid acting, a well-designed set, and technically it doesnt fall short at all. Original and not too bad. As for the people who are unable to comprehend anything except a cliche typical black-and-white hollywood movie, please skip ahead and go watch a marvel movie or something. A well deserved 7 stars for Safeguard !!
Explosive start followed by a slow build up which could have pushed on a bit. I agree with the need for more action overall but it wasn't that bad. Ending was unexpected and acting was pleasantly refreshing from relatively unknown actors. It was not a waste of time like the troll reviews suggest.
Don't believe any of the negative reviews. I went into this flick expecting an average/so-so plot. Boy, was I WRONG! It's a great debut by director Fraser Precious who also shines in his role as a British gangster. It's not a perfect movie, but it's engaging and also has its funny moments, for me it's a solid 8.
