Reason Writers at the Movies: Peter Suderman Reviews Safe House
Associate
Editor Peter Suderman reviews the new Denzel Washington action
thriller Safe House in today's Washington Times:
The producers of “Safe House” have done potential viewers exactly one favor: They’ve turned the movie’s title into a hint as to where it’s best viewed — in the safety and comfort of one’s own home.
“Safe House” is the sort of mostly competent but entirely skippable cinematic trifle that’s better enjoyed as a cable-matinee complement to an afternoon nap: You probably won’t be sorry if you see it, but you won’t be missing anything if you don’t.
Those who do venture out of their own domains will be treated to a ho-hum mashup of “Training Day” and the Bourne series that’s not as tough or engaging as either.

It can't be as bad an idea as actually paying to see Phantom Menace again.

What a god awful steaming pile of bantha crap that movie is.
Loki|2.10.12 @ 2:40PM|#
"Attack of the Clowns" was worse.
Scruffy Nerfherder|2.10.12 @ 3:07PM|#
Killer Clowns From Outer Space was far better

Secure/rugged phones that my company makes are being "featured" in the movie. Considering how bad our business has tanked in the last 3 years I'm not surprised that they are trying to make it a big deal. It's almost the only thing we've got going for us.

Their secureness or their ruggedness?

I don't know. I've had nothing to do with them. The only projects I've been on have either being extremely small and useless, or very large and... cancelled.
Really, though, we specialize in secure comms. We've got our own line of secure processors for low power, performance, or space applications. The majority of our work revolves around specific hardware (and software) for interfacing to those ASICs.
