The Beekeeper

“The Beekeeper” is a 2024 Action movie starring Jason Statham (The Transporter), Emmy Raver-Lampman (The Umbrella Academy), Bobby Naderi (Bright), Josh Hutcherson (Five Nights at Freddy’s), and Jeremy Irons (House of Gucci).

Jason Statham is a beekeeper who has rented a space from an elderly lady where he can take care of his bees and jar his honey. His elderly landlord is targeted by sophisticated scamming organization that targets the elderly. After they drain all her accounts, including an account she has for a charity, she ends up taking her own life. Jason Statham is not just only a beekeeper in the literal sense but also part of a highly classified outfit known as the beekeepers. It is one of the deadliest outfits in the entire world. Now Jason Statham is going to take the entire scamming outfit down no matter how deep it runs.

This movie is classic Jason Statham. It’s nonstop fighting the entire movie and it doesn’t slow down. It’s creative and the story line is good. Sure, it has it’s not very believable moments, and cheesy moments, but what action movie doesn’t? It’s not meant to be a deep film. You have to take it at face value, Jason Statham running around killing a bunch of people. I’m a big Jason Statham fan, I love the majority of his movies, and this is one of his better ones. I give it an 8/10.

Wrath of Man

‘Wrath of Man’ is 2021 action/thriller starring Jason Statham (The Transporter), Holt McCallany (Mindhunter), Josh Hartnett (30 Days of Night), Jeffrey Donovan (Burn Notice), Niamh Algar (Raised by Wolves), Babs Olusanmokun (Black Mirror), and Post Malone.

A Mafia boss’s son is killed in an armored car heist by being at the wrong place at the wrong time. The mafia boss finds out it’s an inside job, and poses as a security officer to get a job with the armored car company. He now must figure out who killed his son, and settle the score.

This movie is more of a slow burn than expected of a Statham film. There’s literally zero hand to hand combat, and doesn’t have a ton of action until about the last twenty/thirty minutes. Then there is a huge gun fight scene. I kept waiting for Jason to do his thing but it never happened, if your looking for him to beat up a bunch of people, watch ‘The Transporter’ series, because this one won’t be for you. McCallany plays a great second role to Statham, I really like him in ‘Mindhunter’, and I was happy to see him playing a big role in this film. Post Malone even has a small part in it. Though, there isn’t a lot of action and it is a bit on the slow side, the story is good and the acting is as well. It’s different than what I was expecting but it is still good. Who’s not going to like Statham and McCallany in the same movie? I give it a 7/10
