Some viewers discredit Awakening because of it's lack of the gothic background and story. I say to these people "'Get over it and get in to the new Underworld". Awakening does not disappoint. Kate is as hot in tights and kick ass as usual. The movie's action scenes does not disappoint and kept me at the edge of the seat. The Lycans are bigger and badder! The humans are not what they seem. The story is intriguing. This movie rocks! I cannot wait for the next installment.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

Somewhat left wanting

I do not usually agree with critics reviews because I don't tend to watch movies with an intellectual or sophisticated mindset. If it is an action movie, I just want it to have great acting, great actions, great storyline, and character building. Unfortunately, Safe House only meets 2 out of the 4 criteria for a great action movie and I had to agree on the critic's review. The storyline and character development is left wanting. All that is left is lots of action and credible acting, as usual, from Denzel Washington and Ryan Reynolds as his breakout role. However, the story is predictable, the dramatic sequence of events is anti-climax, and I felt at the end of the movie that it just could have been much better.
