★★★
I swear if I heard Jason Statham say “I have to protect the hive” one more time, I was about to walk out. The Beekeeper has the most bee-related puns since The Bee Movie, and that is not a good thing. The movie will be entertaining for some, but if I’m being honest, we’ve all seen this movie before. It’s a Jason Statham action movie and does not deviate from the pattern. Heck, it’s a lesser John Wick. And yet, yeah… the action is good. It’s a mindless popcorn flick that escalates quickly, and some will love it for that, however, I see it maybe only being fun after having a few drinks and putting it on with a group of friends - it's pretty silly and very undemanding of its audience. Yes, The Beekeeper is indeed a very mid-January film - lots of cheap thrills and corny one-liners.
