Simply A Masterpiece

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

'Hummingbird (2013)' is a humdrum hop into the type of weakly written, poorly acted and crudely choreographed bare-bones action-flick that Jason Statham has made more than his fair share of, except here even the action is muddy at best and most of the piece is pretty much entirely forgettable. There are a few odd plot strands which serve to bore more than bemuse, but it's the lack of engagement or even really excitement that kills any enjoyment that could be found in the relatively slow and dull picture. A poor attempt even by these standards. 4/10

I watched this movie cause I am a Jason Statham Fan and expected to like this movie but I just did not their wasn't anything to like I am sorry to the people who liked the movie but to me I couldn't really get into it.Bad acting and bad screen writing I couldn't really see any point of watching the rest of the movie but I did, the movie isn't that enjoyable I can watch another Jason Statham Movie and not worry about thinking of this movie, I also dislike the name of the movie Hummingbird what dose it even mean the movie makes no sense what so ever.

While serving in Afghanistan, a British soldier who goes by the name of "Joey" (Jason Statham) becomes emotionally unglued while watching his buddies being killed and takes matters into his own hands by killing a person he had taken prisoner. What he doesn't know is that his prisoner was totally innocent and that his actions are being observed by a drone flying overhead. As a result, rather than face a courts-martial he chooses to go underground and hide out in the mean streets of London. It's at this time that fortune smiles upon him when he accidentally stumbles upon an apartment belonging to a rich businessman who is temporarily on an extended business trip to the United States. This much needed sanctuary gives him the time to regain his strength and sanity in such a way that he is able to attain a large measure of financial success working for a crime boss who deals in drugs and prostitution. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it I will just say that it had potential but failed to establish a concise storyline at the beginning which caused confusion further along. I also didn't care for the ending which left too many things unresolved. In any case, it was a decent action film which I thought suffered from poor overall structure and I have rated it accordingly. Average.

Many films I see these days are too close to being on the level of a boiling excrement experiment to even be called movies at all. This was a departure from that-it was a decent film. Good originality shines through making it a watchable deal without making you feel like your being exposed to something harmful to your health. Jason Statham films tend to be not bad-with the exception of Crank: High Voltage which I thought was a bad case of stoned screen writers. Not a lot to say about this one other than it was a good film-I don't want to give away the plot line as that would spoil it. The other day I was looking at some of the budgets for big films in general these days-many big films cost something like 100 million to make and then maybe make a return of 120 million. They are also generally films I don't like. This movie looks like it had a decent budget-but nothing over the top like many others-where filmmaking becomes a case of elitism wins the day-too bad there are not more films with 1-5 million dollar budgets that actually utilize good scripts and make money well above what they cost to make due to the fact they are intelligently executed as opposed to something that comes off like it was done by a rhesus monkey. Way too many films these days make a marginal return on a gargantuan investment. Some big budget films don't even make back their creation costs at the box office-but they keep making them anyway. It's not the way to go. See this film-you will probably like it.
