Recently rented the movie, "Safe House", with Jason Patrick (of Star Trek fame). It is an interesting twist for Hollywood to produce a movie where the moral of the story is, "Always have a gun handy."
Jason Patrick plays an ex-spook (with Althsemers) who's ex-CO is now running for President (or some other high office). The ex-CO is "terminating" all of his past relationships (that can prove him to be a killer). Patrick is on the list. Patrick's home is his "safe house", security wired to the hilt, a gun planted everywhere, a bedroom arsenal to die for, and some unusal habits like sleeping in the closet, while a life-like replica of himself sleeps in his bed. Patrick's character simulates intrusions using his pool man as the perp which will get your blood flowing.
In addition, Patrick's decaying condition and unusal habits cause alarm with his daughter, who hires a very young and attractive home care giver who quickly gains Patrick's trust. After a shooting involving a passing car, the daughter and her husband go around his home and collect up all of the hidden weapons (thoughtfully disarming him). This, almost on the eve of Patrick's termination ploy by the ex-CO.
Albeit silly at times, it stands as an unusal movie about paranoia and survival. And a must see for gun enthusiasts who contemplate home invasions or unexpected visitors in black ninja suits. And it is a gun, the only gun not found by Patrick's daughter, that eventually saves his own life in the end.
