    The result is not a quilt, just a succession of story snippets that keep interrupting one another.

    Outside of its star power, it reeks of indie film and doesn't hold much mainstream steam.

    Although deft editing provides neat segues, "Safety" suffers from a case of too many dramas, too little time. Characters are given no chance to develop and, too often, their behavior turns on a dime, hurtling off into a parallel universe of extreme acts.
