"Shelter" is, with one notable exception, a rather uninspiring action thriller.
I'll start by saying I like Jason Statham, but really, for my money, the shining light in this otherwise rather dull film is Bodhi Rae Breathnach. She shines as the young girl Stratham sets out to save when she gets embroiled in his past life in the world of assassination and espionage.
Looking beyond her performance, most other aspects of this film feel leaden, forced and predictable. Pacing is off too, with a lead-in that's far too drawn out for what is at its core an action film.
In summary, "Shelter" does offer up a few shining moments that showcase new talent, but little else worthy of mention. A mediocre watch.
