Redemption
Reeling from a traumatic tour of duty in Afghanistan, Joey, a former special forces soldier, returns to London to face another kind of war: life on the streets as a damaged, homeless veteran. In an attempt to rehabilitate himself, Joey assumes another man's identity and seeks the aid of Sister Cristina, a young nun who works at an inner-city parish.

A flawed but still solid debut. And another strong step forward for Jason Statham, the man who won't stay still.

What could have been a film that advances Statham's career proves to be simply more of the same

The main achievement of this joyless mood piece is gutting a Jason Statham potboiler of anything resembling fun.

Look beyond the generic shell, and this wildly imperfect movie appears to have a rare soul lurking inside it.
