Shelter: The Good Human Traffickers

Summary:  Jason Statham is an old military guy who needs to get a girl out of the line of fire so gives her to people smugglers.

So fundamentally you can’t really get round that point Jason’s big plan to save his pseudo daughter is to give her to people smugglers to get her out of the country, and no he doesn’t check what sort of life she’s going to have, yes could have been sold into all sorts but he didn’t check.

Outside of that the film has a lot of heart and Jason gives one of his best performances in a number of years, he manages the action but also the heart surprisingly well, managing to show he does have a soft side.

The plot of the film is a little generic shadowy government spy stuff, Jason was the best of the best, he gets hunted down as he broke the rules. However you do get to see him kill a strike team with nautical weapons so if that’s something  you’re interested in then you’ll like this film.

Overall, if you like Jason Statham you’ll like this film.

3/5

Pros.

It has heart

The action is good

It’s watchable

Cons.

The people smugglers are shown in a positive light

The plot is generic
