The Beekeeper

A solid popcorn action flick. Jason is his standard typecast role, which you can't blame him for, he's a one trick pony but that one trick is entertaining.

The whole movie is a budget-bin version of John Wick, which again is ok if you accept it for what it is.

The main down fall is the casting of Emmy Raver-Lampan, who is just a stunningly bad actress. It's impossible to believe her on onscreen, even in a popcorn flick.

Jeremy Irons is a welcome sight and lends credibility to the film, even though he doesn't get much screen time.

Despite this I actually hope there's a sequel, fun action flicks are perfect beer and pizza viewing.

The actor playing Agent Parker should give up acting. She is laughable and the macho woman act is nauseating. The salvage point of this movie is the very existence of Statham. He is the ONLY reason I give it any stars at all. Without him, I would not give it a single star based on her performance alone. Not sure why actors, writers, producers always feel the necessity to butch up women and have them come off tough and crude. Pathetic if you ask me.

I did love seeing the call center ni rods getting their just desserts!

The world needs Jason Statham to be a real hero. He always makes a movie better.

Statham 8/10 Action 8/10.

Story 6/10 Agent Parker 1/10

The action and the story are great. Statham is fantastic.

Unfortunately, after that the other actors are bad or worse. Agent Parker was horrendous, shocking that she was even cast. If you can put her acting aside, then it's a pretty solid and enjoyable movie.

The Beekeeper is worth checking out if you enjoy action and Jason Statham. The movie is comparable to some of his better movies: transporter, the mechanic, crank, expendables. Again, for what it is and putting the bad supporting actors aside then it is enjoyable. Enjoy the action!

Action flicks aren't known for their plots. That being said, is it possible to finally have at least somewhat plausible plotlines? I mean it's just so... stupid, I can't really .... My almost 80 year old parents know more about computers than these morons in the movies and many more examples of that.

The action is great, as usual in Statham movies. That's why I even considered to write a review. It's everything one might expect from his action flick. As always he is the one who carries the movie throughout, and despite all the stupidity, it actually works. You probably need to be pretty drunk, but when you are, it's actually fun.

So, as a one time entertainment, it's actually worth it.
