Critics Consensus: While it certainly has more on its mind than the average Jason Statham action thriller, Redemption doesn't quite capitalize on its premise -- or on its star's strong, committed performance.

Reel Film Reviews

David Nusair

...progresses into an increasingly involving midsection anchored by Statham’s commanding, engrossing performance...

[The film is] incongruous, blending moral soul-searching with Statham’s usual martial arts-laden action.

This is a film that wants to be more than a mindless action flick and it tries, desperately, but just can't deliver. A pity, although it does prove your first instinct was right: a British thriller starring Jason Statham is all you need to know.

Redemption [is] at once so funny and so profoundly sad.

The result is a somewhat messy, solid piece of storytelling that may very well mark a turning point for Jason Statham.
