Safeguard

The reason I found this different to all the other action films out there is because it wasn't over the top. It was classy, well paced and enjoyable from start to finish.

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.

Have to say, really enjoyed this one. Some great action sequences and comedy moments definitely kept me entertained. Nice to see some quality London shots in there too. British and Russian baddies teaming up to take down the Yakuuza is always entertaining!

Great flick if you've seen a ton of movies in your life... you're 30 odd years old... and you have a well educated and informed background with a comprehensive understanding of human existence. Otherwise, for any negative critic or troll, nevermind being a serious low life, you'll find reading the back of a cereal box the way to start with your education and the riveting experience you've been looking for with all that time on your hands. Downright brilliant. Don't let the egocentric, low life, loser trolls fool you.

If you like indie films with a bit of action and british humour you will be OK with this. It's competently acted. Actually the british baddies in this do their job well. They are a good fit and its worth watching just for them. Could have done with a few more action sequences and the ending felt a bit too cliche but there is a reason for that. The movie has a decent story and for that reason I urge you to stop reading the negative reviews and just watch the movie, as people are throwing too many unfounded remarks around here.

Thanks for this one, a nice change from all the clutter saturating the market at the moment. Too many hollywood overbudgeted movies stealing the limelight from the indie gems. Would have loved to seen this one on the big screen if it wasn't for all the blockbusters that 'keep the cinemas open'. Good to see some British talent coming through the ranks along with some solid Japanese actors making a name for themselves. An enjoyable watch.

This was by no means the shawshank redemption, but definitely worth watching for it's independent nature. If all the good reviews are from actors and friends in the movie then good for them standing up for there film. More people should do that for their films and there should be less hate in this world. This was a nice and original story with a well acted ensemble cast. Too many over paid high budget movies cramming the market. Nice to see something different here.

Firstly, I imagine the reason why the main actor Akie Kotabe was dubbed, was because he actually can't speak fluent Japanese, on top of being a pretty average actor to hold a lead in a film. His Japanese is terrible and is embarassing to Japanese audiences who would never take it seriously. Secondly, the person who wrote and directed this did an amazing job with what I can only tell was a tiny budget. Thirdly, Yuriri Naka was in fact the worst actor in this entire film. Anyone that gave positive reviews to this film was either an independent filmmaker, a decent human being or understands the filmmaking process and is an impartial audience member, not a troll. This film was entertaining and funny with great little nuances planted all the way through. This is exactly the reason why directors and actors should combine their work if they have the ability to do so and their should be more of them out there that take the risks, be bold and are brave enough to stand up to all the negative critics and trolls out there.

I enjoyed the movie... as I enjoy most indie action thrillers. Have to admit got a little confusing at the end but aside from that, it was a well shot indie film with generally credible acting. Would have liked to seen more of Vincent and his boys as they were by far the best characters. Russian baddies were pretty entertaining. All in all, not bad for an indie flick but could have done with a bigger budget to do the action justice.
