Jason Statham delivers a surprisingly emotional performance that showcases his softer side while maintaining the action-packed intensity fans expect. Audiences are particularly impressed by the young actress's Oscar-worthy performance and the unexpected father-daughter dynamic that elevates this beyond typical Statham fare.

Neither cheap fast food nor the greatest meal you will ever taste, the Statham Special maintains standards that are a cut above. Helmed by stuntman-turned-director Ric Roman Waugh (Angel Has Fallen), Shelter is sharply paced, violent as heck, palpably shot on location, and laced with Surrogate Dad Pathos.

Statham is as enjoyably stern and semi-serious as ever, but his sturdy presence cannot enliven a weirdly buttoned-up exercise in mercenary mayhem.

It's another perfect excuse to shove popcorn in your face as you cheer watching Statham beat some people up.
