Movie Review: Safe House

Mercer Morrison lends his usual humor to this week's movie review of "Safe House." Denzel Washington plays ex-CIA agent Tobin Frost who's turned his back on the agency to become an international criminal. Frost crosses paths with a young agent, played by Ryan Reynolds, when he purposely enters a CIA safe house to avoid death at the hands of another criminal. According to Morrison, a lot of action ensues!

Morrison is a web producer at our sister station WDAM in Hattiesburg, MS. Click here to see more of his Movie Madness reviews.
