The Beekeeper
Mr. Adam Clay (Jason Statham) is another Bryan Mills, a man with a special set of skills that you don’t want to mess with. When his neighbor commits suicide because of an online swindle scheme, he vows to avenge her death. Mr. Clay is a retired covert government operative of secret organization that works outside of the law to protect society when absolutely necessary. He is liken to a beekeeper protecting his hive. It’s a simple vengeance plot where the good guy keeps following the chain of command until he gets to the top, killing or maiming anyone & everyone who gets it the way. Statham does what he does best as a cool & calm one-man killing machine. Although some of the plot points seems far fetched & ridiculous, it still loads of fun watching the Beekeeper calmly destroying all that gets in his way. Among the supporting cast are Josh Hutcherson, Jeremy Irons, Minnie Driver, & Phylicia Rashad. See who dies & who survives. In a war to protect society, you got to pick a side: the law or justice.
Alien gives it 3 “jar of honey” stars out of 4.
