Shelter

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Classing up an overdone premise with professional execution, Shelter is highly derivative of previous Jason Statham action vehicles but lean and mean enough to forgive the recycled tropes.

Audience Says

An engaging action outing set against a striking Irish backdrop, Shelter stands as a confidently crafted vehicle for its ever-reliable star.

Statham fans may still love Shelter, and it makes for serviceable entertainment, but it’s just not, in the end, very interesting. Go to Full Review

It's dull, standard action fare, rendered in shades of gray from director Ric Roman Waugh. Go to Full Review

Shelter, formulaically directed by Ric Roman Waugh (Greenland) working from a script by Ward Parry (The Shattering), feels populated by indestructible plastic tropes that have cracked and faded after years of scorching sun exposure. Go to Full Review

There is nothing egregiously bad about "Shelter," as uninspired as it too often feels. Go to Full Review
Daniel Gorman In Review Online 2d
[Shelter's] familiarity is part of the film’s low-key charm... sometimes a three-star movie just hits the spot as well as anything can. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
You'd be hard-pressed to say "Shelter" breaks new ground. But it does fit snugly within Statham’s wheelhouse. And for fans of the 58-year-old’s specific brand of action, it has all the ingredients while hitting the familiar marks they’ve come to expect. Go to Full Review

See more Scott R 1d I’d rate it high. Good story, great action, good and decent acting. I could have sworn the ending would be them back in the Island, a little puppy and she ended up being his daughter. Good movie, see it! See more Read all reviews
