“Safe” fans, you’ve heard a lot about the film and now the premiere has been held recently, you are now even closer to the official nationwide debut of the Lionsgate film! Aside from the film’s cast and director Boaz Yakin, stars in attendance at the red carpet event include Coco and Ice-T, Shaun White, Jaime Cepero, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Stephen Baldwin and more.

You can check out some pictures from the New York premiere of “Safe” below the post.

“Safe” stars Jason Statham, Catherine Chan, James Hong, Reggie Lee and Robert John Burke. The film revolves around a man who has to fight off the Russian mafia, the Triads and a portion of corrupt cops in order to save a young girl:

A second-rate cage fighter on the mixed martial arts circuit, Luke Wright lives a numbing life of routine beatings and chump change…until the day he blows a rigged fight. Wanting to make an example of him, the Russian Mafia murders his family and banishes him from his life forever, leaving Luke to wander the streets of New York destitute, haunted by guilt, and tormented by the knowledge that he will always be watched, and anyone he develops a relationship with will also be killed.

But when he witnesses a frightened twelve-year-old Chinese girl, Mei, being pursued by the same gangsters who killed his wife, Luke impulsively jumps to action…and straight into the heart of a deadly high-stakes war. Mei, he discovers, is no ordinary girl, but an orphaned math prodigy forced to work for the Triads as a “counter.” He discovers she holds in her memory a priceless numerical code that the Triads, the Russian mob and a corrupt faction of the NYPD will kill for.

Realizing he’s the only person Mei can trust, Luke tears a swath through the city’s brutal underworld to save an innocent girl’s life…and perhaps even redeem his own.

The film will be released nationwide April 27. You can learn more about the film at its official site, Facebook page and the LionsgateAction Twitter page.
