Following early reviews, Jason Statham\u2019s<\/a> new movie opened to mostly positive reactions, earning a respectable Rotten Tomatoes score. Statham\u2019s latest R-rated action thriller delivers a familiar but focused story that combines gritty action with emotional undertones.<\/p>\n

Jason Statham\u2019s Shelter gets positive reviews and Rotten Tomatoes score<\/p>\n

Jason Statham\u2019s Shelter holds a 74% score on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 31 critic reviews.<\/p>\n

Ric Roman Waugh directed the film, and Ward Parry wrote it. The film has a runtime of 1 hour and 47 minutes and falls under the action, mystery, and thriller genres.<\/p>\n

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> gave a Fresh rating, stating, \u201cShelter reliably provides plenty of the action that Statham fans crave, not to mention his trademark charisma and low-key underplaying that makes Charles Bronson look overly demonstrative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jacob Oller from AV Club<\/a> also marked it Fresh with a C+ grade, calling it \u201cWaugh\u2019s bargain-bin take on a Bourne-style supersoldier.\u201d David Jenkins of Little White Lies<\/a> issued a Rotten review, rating it 1\/5 and said, \u201cStatham\u2019s impressive physicality does little to add much juice to a film that expends much of its energy cleaving tightly to tired formula.\u201d<\/p>\n

Linda Marric of HeyUGuys<\/a> gave it 3\/5, writing, \u201cShelter delivers exactly what you\u2019re signed up for.\u201d Pete Hammond from Deadline<\/a> rated it Fresh, stating, \u201cWhen you see Jason Statham starring in a one-word title you know exactly what kind of movie you are going to get, and his latest, Shelter, is right on brand.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonathan Sim of ComingSoon<\/a> described the film as \u201cexactly the kind of movie you think it\u2019s going to be.\u201d He wrote, \u201cMichael Mason (Statham) lives alone on a remote Scottish island\u201d until he rescues a young girl from drowning, triggering the plot. Sim highlighted the emotional arc: \u201cTheir uneasy bond becomes the emotional spine of the film.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MI6 subplot introduces Bill Nighy as an intelligence official pushing a mass surveillance program. Sim noted that Shelter contains \u201csurveillance-heavy sequences,\u201d \u201cgritty, physical\u201d action, and \u201ca nightclub sequence that\u2019s chaotic, stylish, and undeniably fun.\u201d He rated the film 6.5\/10, noting its familiar structure and emotional undertones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following early reviews, Jason Statham\u2019s new movie opened to mostly positive reactions, earning a respectable Rotten Tomatoes score.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":397066,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,949,480,2839,100938,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-397065","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-entertainment-news","tag-jason-statham","tag-movies","tag-shelter","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=397065"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/397065\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/397066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=397065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=397065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=397065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
