Running Time: 107 Minutes

Rating: R

Did Shelter make me feel as at home as its title promised? Well, it is a wintry Jason Statham release, and I’ve seen plenty of those in the past decade-plus, so that’s a point in favor of familiarity.

Plus, there are all the Surrogate Father Vibes when the flick quickly establishes itself as a sleek buddy pic between Statham and the gracefully emotional Bodhi Rae Breathnach.

Furthermore, while the word “shelter” does indicate a home, the implication is that that would be a makeshift home. And well, since the main characters are on the run, that is indeed the case.

So this movie delivers exactly what it promises and does in fact feel like home!

Grade: 70% Shelter-rific
