Critics Consensus

While it certainly has more on its mind than the average Jason Statham action thriller, Redemption doesn't quite capitalize on its premise -- or on its star's strong, committed performance.

This is a film that wants to be more than a mindless action flick and it tries, desperately, but just can't deliver. A pity, although it does prove your first instinct was right: a British thriller starring Jason Statham is all you need to know.

[A] flawed but ambitious (and rather peculiar) London-set thriller ...

It's really just an over-blown fashion shoot. Let's hope Jason got to keep the clothes.

...progresses into an increasingly involving midsection anchored by Statham’s commanding, engrossing performance...

[The film is] incongruous, blending moral soul-searching with Statham’s usual martial arts-laden action.

Redemption [is] at once so funny and so profoundly sad.

Not even worth half a star, the script is just bad, worst movie I’ve ever seen & im a big Jason Statham fan. Do not waste your time watching like I did

Never thought Jason Statham would make me cry. His performance really took me by suprise and one shouldn’t go off of the scores. 5 stars is a bit high but I want more to see this film and only hope that its lack of success didn’t put Statham off going for more roles like this as I didn’t think he had this in his locker and would push for him to take on some more challenging roles in the future

The description looks like every other Statham film, but the film itself is remarkable. Good character development, well written dialogue, and an actual plot. Much more than I expected. Complex enough that I had to actually pay attention to what was on the screen.

I first watched *Redemption Flow* when it was released years ago, and revisiting it now has only deepened my appreciation. If anything, I love it even more than I did back then. This film is gripping and deeply moving, seamlessly blending the intensity of a thriller with elements of drama, humor, and heartbreak. Its ability to evoke a range of emotions makes it a truly engrossing experience.

This is a good short movie for what it’s worth compared to the new lame “fairy tale” like action movies that have been made. The point of the movie will definitely be felt or you have no soul. Furthermore, I would give a more accurate star rating, but as mentioned there are horrible movies receiving wonderful reviews when it’s limp as f***! 5 out of 5 I’ll start rating more accurate when PG-13 movies stop being listed as R. The same goes for G rated movies stop being listed as PG-13.
