“Safe Space” (**1/2 out of four) was a predictable but efficient suspense thriller about a mother (Nicole Ari Parker- who looks like a stoned Halle Berry) and her autistic son (Nik Sanchez) who hide in a safe room at their house when their home is invaded by intruders (Mackenzie Austin and Drea de Matteo) who are looking for evidence and they have to turn the tables on them and escape and survive. More-or-less a remake of the Jodie Foster/David Fincher cult classic “Panic Room” but having said that- it’s tensely directed and well acted and holds you in its grip. Matteo in particular is fierce and stylish as the female thug.
