‘Shelter’ Movie Review: Jason Statham And Bodhi Rae Breathnach Topline Survival Driven Thriller
There are a ton of reviews that mention a huge plot point in Shelter, and though understandable, I did not divulge that detail in my review.

That said, this action thriller is still a worthy watch. Check out my video review below!
