Jason Statham must be getting old because he kept his shirt on for the entire film, still he's in better shape than most of us 56 year olds, but he'd have to be for the gruelling schedule of stunts & fight scenes for "The Beekeeper".
If you think this a film about a mild mannered Apiarist think again.
The Beekeepers are in fact a deadly group of assassins whose sole existence is devoted to keeping order in society, just like some drone bees.
It's time to expose the corruption that goes right to the Queen Bee and protect the hive.
Jason plays a retired one who's pissed off!
The worst kind of Beekeeper, because his face is the last thing you'll ever see.
"The Beekeeper" is a brutal movie that draws this 5' 10" fighting machine "Adam Clay" (similar to the name of the bassist from U2) out of retirement after a kindly neighbour loses millions to unscrupulous internet fraudsters.
The neighbour is briefly played by Phylicia Rashad (famously Bill Colby's TV wife).
While I'm name dropping...Oscar Winner Jeremy Irons unbelievably signed on to top up his Superannuation, Josh Hutcherson (The Hunger Games) is his evil son, Jemma Redgrave (acting dynasty) is Irons ex & Minnie Driver as a CIA Director all collect paycheques from "The Beekeeper".
English actor Taylor James adopts a cocky over the top South African accent to play legless mercenary, "Lazarus".
Was Andy Serkis not available?
Remember his white SA accent in "Black Panther" as Ulysses Klaue.
Goof: you see the parachute when a criminal fraudster is sent flying off a bridge chained to a pick up truck.
Warning: the final chapter of this adventure movie hit 95 decibels (just 10 minutes at this level can cause temporary healing loss)
Director David Ayer ("Bright", "Suicide Squad") keeps the action coming fast and strong in this Brain Dead movie...and let's face it sometimes you need a movie where very little thinking, logic, or reasoning is involved and "The Beekeeper" falls into this category.
The hackneyed, predictable, cliche laden script helps the comatose movie goer deal with the unrealistic ultra violence on screen.
Grab a tub of popcorn, a tall drink and kickback for nearly 2 hours of vengeance when Statham goes full "John Wick", "Equalizer" & and hint of James Bond.
"Adam" is here to chew gum and kick butt...and he's all outta gum.
If you like one man army flicks with corny bee related references trickling all over a sticky script then this action, thriller is a keeper.
