Review of Redemption (2014) by Luciano G — 07 Jul 2013

The movie has a few good scenes of Statham doing what he does best (beating people up) but for the most part the movie is pretty light on action....this does leave room for Statham to play a slightly more developed and likable character than he usually does but it's Buzek who gives the film's most complex and interesting performance.

She kind of steels the show from Statham, at least on a dramatic level, and since there's not a lot of action that's all it takes...... Statham does have some decent chemistry with her though and this gives him the chance to show off his romantic leading man chops as well, this is where the film is strongest, it does have a few good thrills and punches but for the most part it works best as a character drama.

.....it's nice that Statham is diversifying himself a little by doing projects like this but his action films are still his best...
