Safeguard

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.

Don't believe any of the negative reviews. I went into this flick expecting an average/so-so plot. Boy, was I WRONG! It's a great debut by director Fraser Precious who also shines in his role as a British gangster. It's not a perfect movie, but it's engaging and also has its funny moments, for me it's a solid 8.

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.

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 !!

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.
