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.

It's dull, standard action fare, rendered in shades of gray from director Ric Roman Waugh. Go to Full Review
Leslie Felperin Guardian 15h

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
Wendy Ide Observer (UK) 16h
The plot is thin, the dialogue rudimentary. But the action is glorious. Statham’s deadly grace as a fighter has rarely been better showcased. Go to Full Review

3/5
The strings and percussion sections of an unseen orchestra do relentless battle to see which can more forcefully remind us we're watching an exciting action thriller. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix 13h
Compared to other predictable Jason Statham action flicks, Shelter is woefully deficient. His 'hero' character is protecting an orphaned teenage girl he barely knows. He drags her into a violent mess instead of dropping her off at an orphanage. Go to Full Review

2/5
Those of us holding out for Statham’s John Wick or Leon might have to accept the fact that 2013’s Safe was his best shot. Go to Full Review

See more Paul T 9h Not bad. Definitely worth a watch. See more julie 10h 90% slow and boring. 10% good. The story was interesting, but took way too long to develop!! See more Mark W 11h Well it was going real well until about half way through. Then we had to evacuate the theater due to flooding from a water main break. As far as the movie goes, I thought it was very much a parallel to "The Beekeeper", except he's a former British agent. See more Read all reviews
