Shelter (Black Bear, 1.30.26) is about Jason Statham’s “Mason”, a reclusive dude living in a remote setting by the sea. After saving a young girl from drowning in a savage storm, he unwittingly sets off a chain reaction that brings violence his way, forcing him to confront choices from the past, blah, blah.
Friendo: “Isn’t this the plot of EVERY fucking Jason Statham movie??
“It’s essentially a software program. A brooding, unassuming guy with a past he’s trying to forget (special forces soldier, government assassin, blah blah blah) must call upon his “special set of skills” in order to protect or avenge a defenseless innocent.

Holy shit, Bill Nighy is in this!
