Safe House was great. Denzel was Denzel and Ryan Reynolds did a ****ing fantastic job. That dude really shines when he's given a serious role.
I also watched a foreign film called City of God. It's based in Brazil around 1960-1970, right outside of Rio De Janeiro. It was basically about growing up in the favela. The drugs and guns were so bad there was a point when police wouldn't even go into the city; it was completely controlled by the "hoods" (dealers). It's crazy to see how out of control it was at that time. Kids, 6 years old, had guns and killed with no remorse. Insane stuff. I'd definitely recommend it if you don't mind subtitles..
