Safe Haven 2013


Safe Haven     Katie lives in Boston.  One evening she runs to a another house with bare feet and only a few items in a pillowcase.  She cuts her hair, changes the color from brown to blond and takes a Greyhound bus out of town.  A policeman is right behind her trying to keep her from leaving.  She manages to get out on the bus and out of the depot without him finding her.  She gets off the bus at one of their stops in the small North Carolina town of Southport.  She finds a job as a waitress and begins living in an isolated cabin.  She meets Alex, he’s a widowed store owner with two children.
     This is based on a Nicholas Sparks novel so that gives you a lot of information about this film.  Slightly predictable but a lot of the information about why she ran away is told later on in flashbacks.  3* (This movie is OK)

116 min, Romance directed by Lasse Hallstrom with Julianne Hough, Josh Duhamel, Cobie Smulders, Irene Ziegler, Jon Kohler, Tim Parati, David Lyons, Noah Lomax, Mimi Kirkland.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.4 out of 10, 13% critic 69% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
