30 Jan
Summary
- Jason Statham protects a young girl from MI6 agents.
- The film 'Shelter' features Statham as a lighthouse keeper.
- Bodhi Rae Breathnach shines as the breakout star alongside Statham.
Jason Statham stars in 'Shelter' as a reclusive lighthouse keeper in the Outer Hebrides. His solitary life is disrupted when a storm leads to the death of a man delivering supplies, leaving Statham to care for the man's niece, Jessie.
An accidental sighting during a supply run on the mainland triggers an MI6 alert, as agents have lost track of Statham. This puts both him and Jessie in danger, forcing them on the run from secret agents with orders to kill.
The film has been criticized for a convoluted MI6 subplot that obscures the central narrative. However, the performances of Jason Statham, portraying his typical curmudgeonly hero, and Bodhi Rae Breathnach, delivering a powerful performance as Jessie, are highlighted as key strengths.
Breathnach is identified as a breakout star with a promising future, while Statham is recognized as a reliable presence in the action genre. The movie's plot, though deemed formulaic, centers on the protector-child dynamic.
