Denzel Washington Doesn't Look Very Scary In First Safe House Set Photos

When he wants to, Denzel Washington can cut a pretty intimidating figure, particularly when playing a villain. With his swanky suits in American Gangster and police swagger in Training Day, the actor had no problem sending a clear message to the audience: "I am the bad guy here." The first set photos from Safe House don't really send that same message.

Posted over at Pop Sugar, Washington is supposedly playing a hardcore baddie known as Tobin Frost, but he looks as though he wouldn't hurt a fly in these pictures. I don't know if it's the gray in his hair, the un-tucked shirt or the baggy pants, but this doesn't look like the character that was announced last July. The site has also posted a couple images of Ryan Reynolds riding a motorcycle, so at least that's kind of cool.

Check out a couple of the photos below and head over to Pop Sugar for the rest.
