For many Ryan Reynolds fans, his career is summed up as before Deadpool and after Deadpool. While the actor did star in memorable films before playing the Merc with a Mouth, the first half of his resume is peppered with many disappointments. But now that anything he touches instantly acquires the potential to be a rousing success, even his past critical and/or commercial failures are getting a spotlight. For instance, a decade-old action film starring the actor that got bashed for its dull and often senseless screenplay has successfully managed to make Alexa rethink her existence. 

The film in question is 2012’s Safe House starring Reynolds as rookie CIA agent Matt Weston who is assigned the task of guarding Denzel Washington’s master spy Tobin Frost. The duo is soon busy demolishing half the city and unsuspecting pedestrians as they drop one unnecessary and pointless action sequence after another. But despite its shortcomings and not managing to woo all critics, it did do well in terms of box office earnings. There were talks of a sequel, but thankfully, those plans were never finalized.

But why on Earth is this film entering the chat after more than a decade? And how does it connect to Alexa? Take a breather, we are getting there.

A fan club page for Wrexham AFC, the club co-owned by Reynolds, recently shared how they sat down to watch Safe House with the volume turned on and seriously bamboozled their Alexa Echo Dot speaker. 

Never the one to let a funny situation go away without making it even hilarious, Reynolds responded to the tweet by chiming in that what Alexa is detecting is probably “the sounds of my body falling apart from that final fight sequence” in Safe House. 

Well, while I am still not ready to relive Safe House challenging my sanity, I would love to test this and let the future AI uprising cower in fear of the mind games even our lame films can play.
