Jason Statham seems to know a little bit about playing specific heroes. In an era where there are few to take that mantle, he has found a sustainable formula while still picking specific and efficient enough scripts to make sense. His new movie "Shelter" from "Greenland" director Ric Roman Waugh is an efficient, entertaining, mid-range picture that knows what it is while still delivering a character that can function time and again.

The essence of personalities reflects usually in those actors playing them and the location in which it is set. That said, the through line of "Hope Gap" starring Annette Bening and Bill Nighy is universal.
