Redemption

I watched this film on Netflix simply for one reason, Jason Statham, and he did not disappoint.  It starts with scenes of Statham having PTSD flashbacks of his time serving in Afghanistan, but now living homeless on the streets.  When some hoodlums come by to shake down the less fortunate, Statham ends up getting beat up, running for his life.

This film had a little bit of everything, a love story, a decent plot, some good a$$-kicking.  I had a slight problem with him just happening to literally fall into the perfect apartment where the owner just happens to be away for three months.   He just moves in, drinks his drinks, wears his clothes, and sleeps in his bed, the perfect place for a homeless ex veteran and a convenient sort of lazy story point.  This just would not happen in anything approaching reality.  In the end, it delivered a fairly entertaining story.
