Post Strike Cinema 24' - The Beekeeper

The Beekeeper should be an early contender for dud film of 2024. However this Jason Statham film doesn't suck.

Actually it's like John Wick taking on the world of one of the most hated people around. Large banks. Jokes, scam call centres. However this call centre leads straight to the top. When you follow the money, The Beekeeper (Statham) has his work cut out for him.

Joining Statham in this action thriller directed by David Ayer is Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, Bobby Naderi, Minnie Driver, Phylicia Rashad and Jeremy Irons.

The reviews from critics for the film, also haven't been super shit. Meaning this could be a vast improvement on the terrible Meg sequel.

Statham will not be seen this time of the year winning awards, nor will he likely star in an award winning film. But credit is due where credit is due. Also the trailer is not the best indication on how good this film actually is...

Honestly we all hate scam calls, emails, texts. They are super common and no doubt over the holidays you got a fake parcel text or email from Australia Post. So when an action star goes full metal violent towards these cowards, as an audience you are rooting for the anti hero.

The foul mouthed cop played by Emmy Raver-Lampman is also one to watch. Her bad language and straight shooting FBI work is to be admired.

I have a strong feeling we may see a The Beekeeper 2 in the future. No spoilers here though, just my honey soaked star rating.

3 Stars.
