    Random but enjoyable (watch this without reading troll reviews)

    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.

    All in all a decent watch

    Not your typical action thriller but was nice to see something different. Good combination with the English / Japanese interconnection and plot. Music was pretty epic and the actors did the characters justice. Could have seen more fights or conflict but guess the budget didn't allow for that. Understandable in the indie world but would have enhanced the story big time. Liked the family element and protecting at all costs. Recommend this to anyone wanting an escape from all the negativity in the world.

    Not bad, not amazing

    OK so I don't need to be an expert film geek or choreographer to know this wasn't the best movie in the world. But on a serious note, this wasn't bad at all. If anything, it could have done with a bit more action. Comedy was good, cast was average bar the funny brits. I don't need to watch the greatest movie in the world every time I sit down with my dog and put something on. Sometimes the better the movie the harder it is to follow. And seriously, what was Tenet all about. Way too confusing and way too much. Keep it simple dudes. Check this one out if you want that.

    If you like indie movies then this wont disappoint

    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 !!

    Haters always gonna hate (ignore the trolls)

    Overambitious? Yes. Under budgeted? Yes. Completely enjoyable? Yes!

    Not everything is designed to be scrutinised, dissected and critiqued to its dying breath. This movie is exciting, ominous, endearing and, at times, intriguing and even confusing. That's good! I was glued to the screen and enjoyed the ride, comedy and all. Just feel sorry for all the trolls and haters shaming every indie film out there. Shame on you. Find something better to do with your time or something else to butcher. Maybe your neighbour, if they aren't freaked out already by your demonic plague polluting this planet.
