Safety Reviews

Oct 1, 2024

I am not sure how they bombed a great story this badly. The screenplay and editing made me think I needed to restart my prescription for ADHD medicine as there was no moment to spare while shifting cameras so frequently to present a screenplay that was clearly written under duress. I have no idea how Disney even keeps this on their platform and/or am curious as to how Rotten Tomatoes has scored this better than some of the true cinematic tragedies such as Hot Tub Time Machine 2. I hope some producer one day can purchase the negative and turn this into an actually acceptable film. I apologize if you watched this before reading this review, I am doing my best to erase this from my memory as well. My heart goes out to Ray Ray for what is an incredible story of overcoming almost insurmountable hardships, as this is a retched reminder to all of us that Hollywood can still drop bombs bigger than what can be told. I will never get this time back, but it is nice to hear that PG&E has started construction this evening outside. I only wish they could have started using a jackhammer earlier on so I could have given up on movie night. They did have an excellent soundtrack which I presume is where all the screenwriters & editors’ funds went. Regards.

A Disney+ release based on a true story of Ray McElrathbey, a college football player for Clemson University that takes care of his younger brother while going to college. For the most part the story flows well. There is a time where Ray must hide his brother on campus. That was a little silly, but the rest of the film is well done. Acting wise, everyone did a fine job, but no real standouts. I think this movie is worth your time.

An endearing story that will either leave you in tears from laughing or crying.

It feels like another version of The Blind Side, but that’s a good thing. It even has a couple of actors from that movie, and in this film the word “blindsided” is even used in a way that seemed to me like it was on purpose. The cast of this movie is excellent, especially Corinne Foxx, who just seems infinitely likable. Very well-made and enjoyable movie.

Disney takes a rousing story and turns it into a bland, predictable bore.

Personally, I dislike sports films, but this is an exception. It was a great execution and had awesome, funny moments and heartwarming ones as well. A nice blend for a movie so good.

Wholesome, motivated and inspirational. "Safety" gives Disney+ an original, feel good sports romp that the Disney brand is known for - even if it might feel and look a bit generic at times.

Basada en una historia real, sobre la vida y los obstáculos que un joven afroamericano tiene que pasar para malabarear su carrera atlética, su beca universitaria y el cuidado de su hermano menor, todo sin perder cara. Predecible, pero buena.

it's no Brink, but not bad for a DCOM

One movie I have recently watched is Safety on Disney Plus. This Disney original follows the true story of a Clemson football player, Ray "Ray Ray" McElrathbey who assumes the responsibility of taking care of his much younger brother, Fahmarr McElrathbey, after their mother is forced into rehab. The movie is quite Disney, and oddly enough reminds me a little bit of the Disney Chanel Original trilogy High School Musical. Heartwarming, emotional, and awesome are words that can only scratch the surface of all that this movie is. The story line is much like a roller coaster at the duo seems to always float in and out of being on top of the game and in trouble with administration. In the end though, it is quite nice to see how everyone was able to come together in their support, especially knowing that the movie is based on a true story. I would recommend this movie to anyone who wants a heartwarming story but also does not mind the cringe.

'Safety' - very good! Disney enters the sports drama market for what feels like the billionth time, though in fairness they usually nail it - and do the same with this. They've done many better, e.g. 'The Greatest Game Ever Played' and 'Glory Road', but I very much felt entertained by this. The cinematography is, truly, excellent - credit to Shane Hurlbut. I also took note of the editing (Terel Gibson), which is particularly neat at the beginning. The plot is compelling and features a lot of heart, it certainly uses the usual Disney/sports biopic beats but there's a lot of goodness in there as well. On this note, it has a decision scene where I half expected Chuck Norris to appear. Iykyk. I enjoyed the cast. Jay Reeves gives a terrific performance as Ray, while Thaddeus J. Mixson is more than solid as brother Fahmarr. Corinne Foxx (daughter of Jamie), James Badge Dale and, despite only a short appearance, Amanda Warren are also good. Cool, for me anyway, to see 'The Walking Dead' alum IronE Singleton involved. I'd recommend this, for sure.

I'd give this a recommendation, but barely. It's not a football movie to me, per se. One knock on it is that it was too long. It was inspiring though, and had its funny moments. Some scenes brought me back a little to what college football was like before the pandemic, and I liked that about it.

Safety is based on an interesting true story, but it's done by filmmakers who didn't quite tell it right. This movie rambles on a little too long at times (it clocks in at over two hours) and it glosses over other plot points that could have been interesting. This Disney film plays it safe and sticks to the tried and true inspirational sports movie formula. It's a movie the whole family can watch (and eventually forget) together.

This doesn't do many things that are new in the genre and the romantic subplot feels kind of pointless. That being said, there's a lot to like here. It's filled with tons of emotion and delivers many heartwarming scenes and uplifting moments.

This movie has all the feels. Great story of what hard work, family, and community can accomplish!!!
