Chuck Barris was a well known television producer in the 1960's and 70's. Creator of numerous game shows, such as The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game and The Gong Show, Barris was big in the industry. However in 1984, Chuck Barris published his autobiography, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind in which he claimed to be an assassin for the CIA as well as a television producer. George Clooney, taking his first shot at directing, leaves it up to you to decide, as did Chuck Barris himself.
Safe House showed up a couple months ago with an action packed trailer that featured a CIA thriller story in the vein of the Bourne trilogy. After convincing my friends that Act of Valour was a waste of good theater money, we decided to check out Safe House. I will say the big screen does it justice primarily with the surround sound, particularly the gunshots and explosions.
