8/10 by 8-year old 1980's me. Unfortunately, I'm not 8 years old anymore and neither is this 1/10 star movie.
Watched this again in 2024 to evaluate whether or not it's a classic worthy of watching with my son. He doesn't enjoy most old movies, and I empathize. Streamed this one in the background while working and was hoping it would provide inspiration, some excitement, or at least decent distraction. Nope.
This movie is awful. It's bad by 80's standards, and bad by 90s, 00's, 10's, and 2020's standards. I have 55 characters left to clarify my disappointment in this aged garbage, so I'll finish by saying I recalled this fondly and wanted to like it - but found little left to like.

1/10 movie, +2 for Jason Statham. The Beekeeper is a dumb, poorly-written C grade action movie.
It starts promising for the action-revenge genre, and the first 30-45 minutes is decent. Around the 45 minute mark the writing, directing, and overall story take a hard left turn into nonsensical stupidity. The film doesn't match the stated story, and the characters and actions don't match their words.
Even the combat choreography drops to Steven Segal levels. You may not notice if like early Segal, or know absolutely nothing about military and LE tactics, self-defense, combat, and and firearms. If you think one Marsoc/Seal/Secret Service agent falling down a few stairs will KO/KIA them, and also permanently take out three of their teammates via the kinetic force of...falling into them: you might love this flick!
Family went to bed around 1 hour, and I went back to working until it fizzled out. Waste of a some decent actors and an interesting setup. Would not recommend watching.

Don't waste your time. Juvenile writing, plot, and dialogue. Terrible action, combat scenes, acting, and choreography. Director and casting team should be fired.
What a waste of great actors/actresses on such awful writing and directing. The only redeeming parts of this film are the cinematography and how hard the wife and I laughed at the rest of it.
