Redemption (2013) Review by quincytheodore from Indonesia
It's been quite a long time, perhaps for the first, that I wasengrossed with Jason Statham's movie, not due to the sheer number ofcracked skulls, but with his character and the ones around him.Hummingbird is another entity compared to his usual martial arts filledcarnage, although his trademark of hurting people certainly didn'tdisappear. Jason Statham as Joey Jones, takes on a deeper and moreemotional role, which with the help of director Stephen Knight,surprisingly works well.
Agata Buzek as Cristina, a love interest role which couldn't be anyfarther than Jennifer Lopez's in Parker, is an altruistic nun who caresfor Joey in his darker times. She is not the typical cinema beauty, yetshe is humbly charming. Her acting is impeccable, often giving eerilysympathetic moments that could silence the audience. Statham benefitsfrom her presence as well as he gives more to acting than the majorityof his movies. That doesn't mean he will be getting awards soon, but itis a good direction on his part.
Cinematography utilizes London cityscape in a very rustic fashion, it'sthe opposite from the well-advertised side of the city. Streets andalleyways seem more in touch with reality, nothing grandiose aboutthem, while prettier settings ooze some illusion of eminent cosmetic.With sleek scene transition between them, the movie appears to be verygrounded. Story and script are great, despite having a few coincidentaltwists. It's somewhat a stark contradiction from the grimy visual, abits of fantasy to escape the harsh prospect. Smart ways to evoke moremature theme is appreciated and it makes Hummingbird more subtlyartistic.
Statham's character is a vigilante, a crowd-pleasing broken man whosepast never lets him go. He does this part to his best, enough to atleast differentiate him from his other tough guy role. However, peoplewho purchase ticket to see Statham delivers knockout punches orstaggering kick might be slightly disappointed. The action is brutaland punishing, but there's considerably fewer scenes from what might beexpected from his type of movie, although these few are choreographedand done well in a more street brawl kind of way. Having a genuinemartial artist couldn't hurt either.
The movie takes some time to get its rhythm, and while it's commendablefor Statham to try this new change, he's still rough in actingdepartment. That being said, Hummingbird is clearly superior than mostof his movies. It doesn't rely simply on muscle, but it takes theaudience to a more private look into these likable characters. I feelthat the role of Joey Jones could be played by Jeremy Renner or TomCruise. If Jason Statham can continue in roles like this, he'd bebigger than just the guys who beats people up.

Redemption (2013) Review by Mek Torres from Los Banos, Laguna, Philippines
Once someone see Jason Statham's name and face on the promotionalmaterials, they will immediately think Hummingbird is another actionfilm where the star runs around the city fighting bad guys. If you cameexpecting it to be like The Transporter or any typical Statham feature,it would be either disappointing or otherwise surprising. The plot ismore of a Neo-Noir drama about a man who lives in the rotten side ofsociety and faces real consequences. The film is unbalanced in handlingtwo of its tones, but the context hits the right note in the end.Hummingbird has a better way to tell the story but it's already afascinating film to watch.
The story is obviously about redemption, and as a Statham film itshould have fistfights to show his enemies who's boss. But instead hischaracter here troubles facing his demons and has to commit crimes toget what he needs. It's a much interesting story about people who haveto deal with the unfair reality and beat it off with their skills. Itsurely has punching but they are used for torture rather than excitingaction set pieces, though they may still remind you of a standardaction film. The film suffers of balancing between tones. Example isthe opening feels totally different from the rest of the movie. Itlooks like a complete thriller until it randomly jumps to art-housecrime drama. Probably, it's a set up for the ones who came for theaction by the main actor's existence in the film, but it goes againwhenever Joey beats up someone for his job. Maybe the problem is thesescenes are not grim enough. They should have shown an uglier depictionof violence.
The best parts are when it simply keeps the characters into theirgloomy lives. Letting everyone understand the protagonist's motivationof being a Robin Hood. Jason Statham didn't standout much. His fightingis still impressive, though our familiarity to his moves kind ofglosses the scenes that are supposed to be uneasy to watch, but hisnatural film personality buys the character, giving awareness to thechoices he make and guilt he receives. The real talent that shines hereis Agata Buzek, who genuinely presents her character's contrastingtraits.
Hummingbird is a strange film with a classic kind of story, but it'sthe sort of strange that is rarely seen in cinema today. It's sort ofhard to find the right type of audience to get appealed to this. It wasall drama, then suddenly has fighting scenes that are supposed to bedark yet becomes the other way around. In other parts, it has anengaging exploration of the characters' bleak little world. Thefilmmaking is as magnificent as it needs and the performances are quitegripping. It still deserves a better portrayal of its conflicts and aset of tones that could decently fit together. In the end, it's a worthseeing change from the genre and the main actor.
Redemption (2013) Review by A K from Canada
Now i'm a definite fan of Jason Statham. After reading the reviews ofthis film iv'e realized that no matter what this man does he will notplease the critics. Whenever he does what he is good at(action movies),he is just one note and doesn't do anything else. When he triessomething different like in this movie, he isn't good enough for adramatic role.Well I for one enjoyed this film as a welcome change ofpace as this is his most serious/dramatic role which I felt he did agood job.
The story is dark, gritty and down to earth as many war vets sufferpsychological problems and as a result end up homeless or drugaddicts.The movie is very character driven, layered which adds someneeded depth to a Statham movie. He plays Joey Jones, a homeless warvet traumatized by his experiences and much of the story is about hischaracter's experience's in the underworld of London. The movie feelsauthentic, the way its shot on the dark London streets and also readingthat their was research done on Statham's part preparing for therole.It's good to see he can do a dramatic role plus use his actionstrengths and kick ass when he does.
Overall, If your expecting an all out action film maybe you shouldwatch Safe instead. However, if you want to see a darker, grittier filmmore deep than your typical Statham film and welcome the change ofpace. I'd give it a watch and see how you like it.
Overall: 7/10
