Hummingbird - One more movie which sells Jason Statham as the main point.
Still the same with the other Jason Statham movie genre, which is action movie. This time he did not act as a good-hearted man, but rather a war criminal, named Joey Jones.
Someone killed his friend, then he wanted to demand justice or rather, revenge. He also has a friend, a nun named Christina, played by Agata Buzek ---- not a typical beauty as the main character the movie, but her acting is qualified. Among criminals like a devil with nun like an angel, who are more affected?
When escaping from renternir, he fell off into elite apartments. The apartment occupants were out of the country, so it is free to use any existing facilities to launch a revenge business and get a lot of money by working in the mafia. (What a very lucky incident!)
Overall, I think Steven Knight (the director) to bring tension (which should exist), and do not focus on establishing story lines, like "what exactly are you saying?" Many characters and side stories that are not deepened, so it just feels like "ornament" that cluttered.
If I may say, this movie has 3 stories focus:
1. The first focus is revenge. Difficult to understand the intensity of Joey in revenge if only for the sake of his "share of cardboard". Considering this is the final destination Joey, is supposed relationship Joey-Isabel given background stronger.
2. The second focus is Joey relationship with Christina. It is clear that the relationship between Joey and Christina became the highlight of the main portion of the film. Thank you for the superb acting of Agata Buzek. While the acting of Statham himself does not seem really interested in the nun.
3. The third focus is to get more money for his family. Why do so after a year of new Joey hiding? Yet look how he so longed for children (and for some reason is not his wife?!). Although it gives a lot of money, why Joey remains determined to be "waste", whereas he could be a mafia and do other dirty work? Roughly speaking, why he did not choose to die? If he is afraid of death, why he does not seem afraid to die during the movie?
The core of this film is how good and evil meet and influence each other. As Joey character who looks like man without integrity, where he chose to live as a vagrant than death by a court decision. How he was willing to demand justice, but at the same time as the perpetrators of injustice. The film's title was changed from "Hummingbird" to "Redemption".
Seeing the weakness of the story in this film, it is unlikely to get a positive critique of the critics.
For me, the score is 4/10.
