First he was the TRANSPORTER.... than he was the MECHANIC and even fought THE MEG - now he is the BEEKEEPER. This is one of his better action movies and delivers on what you would want as a fan of this genre.

Statham proves he is one of the top action stars of this generation and one of the best of all time. He is at his bad ass best in this. It is action packed from beginning to end with some inventive and violent kills. It didn't even feel as long as it was and was very fast paced and no-non sense. The overall set up of the story is relatable as we've all heard of or known someone who has fallen prey to these types of phishing scams. You want to see these guys get their comeuppance - which they do. It has a strong supporting cast - Josh Hutcherson, Jeremy Irons are solid. Sure, it may be a bit illogical at times and Statham is pretty much invincible, but if you like 80/90's one man army, R rated action movies it is quite entertaining and delivers.

Overall, this movie provides on plenty of action and as a Statham fan I enjoyed and consider this one of his better movies. These types of ol' school R rated action movies are great to see in cinema and I'd recommend it on the big screen.

7.5/10.

I think people will either love or hate the concept of no dialogue. I personally loved it. It's one of the more unique action movies I've seen in recent years. If it had dialogue, it wouldn't have been as memorable. The story is told visually, through strong acting, a fitting musical score and of course the impactful and violent action and John Woo's expert direction.

The acting from Joel Kinnaman is top notch. He really conveys a lot of emotion with his scenes with out saying a word and you really feel for his character and the pain he is going through. The direction from John Woo is amazing, he proves why he is one of the best action directors of all time. The action is violent, and hard hitting and expertly crafted and shot. Story is simple and straightforward , something you've seen so many times in an action movie, which is why the no dialogue makes it unique.

Overall, a future cult and Christmas action classic. One of the best of 2023 and will go down as one of the best in this decade. A unique, artful and surprisingly emotional and high impact action movie. A must watch for fans and glad I watched it in cinema.

7.5/10.

Who'd have thought 15 years ago Liam Neeson would be one of this generations most reliable and notable action stars after being known for being a dramatic actor all those years.

If your a fan of his Taken style movies, you'll enjoy. As a fan I was entertained and think it's one of his better overall action thrillers. He plays these roles so well as a worn out, gruff, vengeful anti hero. He elevates any average action movie with his performance and presence such as this film. It's action packed and is another solid entry in both Liam's and director Martin Campbell's filmography.

This is definitely better than Blacklight and some of his other pandemic era movies (5 and counting since 2020). It is a bit more unique in terms of his Alzheimer's as it adds some tension and character development. It has a great supporting cast. Overall, it doesn't surprise me critics didn't like the movie but If your a fan of his movies and action in general, I'd give it a watch and judge for yourself.

7/10 or 3/5 stars.
