Modified: 02/10/12 11:47:27 AM"Safe House" is solid evidence of mind-body duality. This overproduced spy thriller never really seized my imagination, but it kept my knee jiggling nervously for 115 minutes.
Modified: 02/10/12 03:06:39 AMWhat a difference five years can make. For Paige (Rachel McAdams), it meant a new life free from her rich, controlling parents, free-spirited new friends, a loving marriage to Leo (Channing Tatum), and a promising career as a sculptor.
