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.

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
Leslie Felperin Guardian 3d
2/5
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
Simon Foster Screen-Space (Substack) 19h
3.5/5
Its heartbeat is the bond shared between the terrific Breathnatch...and an ageing Statham, whose face of twisted scar tissue, deeply-cratered forehead and cavernous worry-lines makes him as ‘human’ as he’s ever been on-screen. Go to Full Review
Peter Gray The AU Review 20h
3/5
A solid, watchable, if hardly groundbreaking, entry in the Statham canon. Go to Full Review

Jason Statham rests on his laurels here, but has probably also launched young Bodhi Rae Breathnach’s career. Go to Full Review

Efrain A 1h Great action as always with Jason Statham! Plot is good and and movie keeps you alert at all times. Loved it! See more Henry 7h A return to the great formula Jason Statham relied upon to make him so successful. Good story , great action great entertainment! See more Google 11h We thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Jason Stratham was great as usual and Ms. Bodhi Rae Breathnach was fantastic in her role and we hope to see more of her. Perhaps there will be a follow-up movie. See more Barb M 11h Outstanding movie! Jason Statham never disappoints in this thrill-a-minute yet touching story. Excellent supporting cast. Hope to see this great film again before it leaves the theater. A must-see for any Statham fan. See more paulp 14h I liked it. Wasn't as much over the top battles like some of his other movies but was engaging with good pace and good acting. The young girl was great and gave an added element to the movie. I'll buy this on DVD as soon as it comes out, solid JS flick for sure! See more Robert C 15h Decent action film. Cinematography and sets were very good. Storyline and plot was good. Jason Statham back at his best. Bill Nighy was good as an unexpected adversary. See more Read all reviews
