Here, he plays damaged goods in the form of Joey Jones, an ex-special forces soldier on the run. So far so routine, perhaps. But once he’s shed a particularly dodgy-looking hairpiece, it turns out that the role fits Statham particularly well. He’s a man living in the criminal underworld of London, but who finds – with the help of a nun (really) – an avenue of sorts for redemption (which turns out to be the title of the film in the US). So what is it? Well, a jumble of things. On the one hand, it’s a dark character drama. On the other, it explores the unlikely relationship between Joey, and the aforementioned nun, played well by Agata Buzek. Then, it has further moments where it slips into a more conventional Jason Statham action movie, as the man uncorks his special skills and proceeds to be, well, really quite dangerous. As much fun as it is to see the film flitting between two or three slightly different identities, it does dilute things somewhat by choosing to do so. It feels as if Hummingbird won’t really commit to being one or the other. The Statham, however, effortlessly slips into a quiet role by his standards, and Joey is comfortably one of his most interesting on-screen characters. We’re not sure we’d ever see him as a man called Joey in real life, though. Hummingbird is out now in UK cinemas. Follow our Twitter feed for faster news and bad jokes right here.
