how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 50 comments (47 from Metacritic, 3 from TMDB reviews) β 14 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 14 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βThe action is contained within a coherent dramatic structure and the puzzle-box paranoia of spy-agency protocol.β
Joe Williams, St. Louis Post-Dispatch Β· 88
βDirector Espinosa stages the endless action with a tremendous flair that recalls John Woo's grittier moments, and cinematographer Oliver Wood, who shot Woo's finest Hollywood moment, "Face/Off," gives the whole violent show a downright brackish look that borders on the sublime.β
Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle Β· 78
βSafe House rockets along, taking a familiar formula and making it work - hard.β
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer Β· 75
βA gritty spy thriller directed by relative newcomer Daniel Espinosa, and a film that -- despite the occasional misstep -- ends up being a taut, suspense-filled ride.β
Mike Scott, New Orleans Times-Picayune Β· 75
βEssentially and very effectively a rollicking smash-and-crash chase movie that happens to be surprisingly well acted.β
Manohla Dargis, The New York Times Β· 70

βTries really hard to be a Bourne-like espionage-thriller and while the action sequences aren't as well done, still has some entertaining moments. Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington have some great scenes together. Kind of surprised, given it's Universal, there hadn't been a few direct-to-video sequels at this point... **3.75/5**β

β"Matt" (Ryan Reynolds) is a bored, ambitious CIA agent looking after a safe house in South Africa desperate for something meatier to do. Then his wish comes true as he finds himself looking after a "most wanted" "Frost" (Denzel Washington). Needless to say, their safe house turns out to be anything but, and now they are chased all over the place unsure who to/not to trust in this is perfectly functional action thriller. Daniel Espinosa keeps it all taut and interesting and the pair make for quitβ
