Safety

<em>'Safety'</em> - 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. <em>'The Greatest Game Ever Played'</em> and <em>'Glory Road'</em>, 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
