The Beekeeper: A Familiar yet Entertaining Action Flick
Jason Statham stars as a former CIA operative turned beekeeper
The Beekeeper, starring Jason Statham, is now available to stream on Amazon Prime. This action-packed movie follows the typical storyline of a highly trained former operative trying to live a mundane life in retirement, only to be dragged back into a world of violence and mayhem.
In this case, Statham’s character has traded in his gun for a beekeeping suit, but it’s not long before he’s forced to use his exceptional skills to take down a plethora of bad guys. While the plot may require some suspension of disbelief - such as why Statham’s character doesn’t have an American accent despite being a former US operative - the movie can still be an enjoyable watch for fans of the genre.
The stylized gunplay and dance-like murder sprees may not be for everyone, but those who enjoy a good action flick will find themselves entertained. For a better take on this genre, however, it’s worth checking out Nobody, starring Bob Odenkirk as a retired operative who must use his skills to take down a group of bad guys.
