Review: Safe (2012)!

Action Flick Chick | May 10, 2012

Most people can’t even remember their phone number let alone a list of numbers a mile long. There are those gifted people, though, who can memorize anything. You know the type: the ones that never had to study in school and still made 100’s while you’d studied all night and barely pull off a B…or [...]
