Critics Consensus

While it certainly has more on its mind than the average Jason Statham action thriller, Redemption doesn't quite capitalize on its premise -- or on its star's strong, committed performance.

This is a film that wants to be more than a mindless action flick and it tries, desperately, but just can't deliver. A pity, although it does prove your first instinct was right: a British thriller starring Jason Statham is all you need to know.

[A] flawed but ambitious (and rather peculiar) London-set thriller ...

1/5

It's really just an over-blown fashion shoot. Let's hope Jason got to keep the clothes.

...progresses into an increasingly involving midsection anchored by Statham’s commanding, engrossing performance...

2.5/4

[The film is] incongruous, blending moral soul-searching with Statham’s usual martial arts-laden action.

Redemption [is] at once so funny and so profoundly sad.

Troubled people struggle for renewal. Satisfying.

Not the typical action packed movies I’m used to by him but had a good enough story line, good acting, and was engaging enough. Worth a watch but nothing too memorable.

This movie is really good. It was a good move to change the title but it was a little lazy. I get why it was called Hummingbird but Redemption does fit better. The reveal of Jason Statham in this was shocking. I do wish the kinda ended it when they were cross cutting between the ballet and other party. Think the point got across really well. This has nothing to do with the movie I just thought it was funny to add. I watched it on the CW App. I got hit with 11 Domino’s thats the only ad. Since they were 30 secs it wasn’t bad. Think I prefer that over the PlutoTv app

A much better film than the critics have suggested. I have seen many Jason Statham films but this is the first that brought a tear to my eye. Please watch this and decide for yourself.

Never thought Jason Statham would make me cry. His performance really took me by suprise and one shouldn’t go off of the scores. 5 stars is a bit high but I want more to see this film and only hope that its lack of success didn’t put Statham off going for more roles like this as I didn’t think he had this in his locker and would push for him to take on some more challenging roles in the future
