Here’s the beautiful thing about David Ayer’s “The Beekeeper,” which is essentially a “John Wick” ripoff starring Jason Statham as a former top-secret government assassin who violently unretires after someone kills his bees: If for some twisted reason you showed me this movie right after I’d woken up from a 10-year coma and told me it was opening in theaters that Friday, I might not have any idea what year I was in, but I would know — within five minutes, and beyond a shadow of a doubt — that it was the second weekend of January.
Too silly for late August, too memorable for streaming (Statham only has about 12 lines in this film, and one of them is…
my wife and i have a theater called the orpheum that we only go to in very specific circumstances. the presentation at this theater is always bad. the screens are scratched up and relatively small, and the projection is often framed so poorly that the bottom edge of the image will be splayed across the first few rows of seats. but since this theater is convenient to get to, we only go there when we want to see something that we don't expect to be actually good. something where we don't care if the presentation is bad. something dumb, worthless, but entertaining enough to spend an evening on.
the beekeeper is the textbook example of an orpheum banger. beyond idiotic, meritless as a work of art, but i cackled the whole way through. see this at your local orpheum.
Make no mistake, The Beekeeper is very silly and to be clear, objectively bad and not taken seriously by anyone (including myself), but has some sort of sheer and utter bizarreness I can’t stop thinking about. Something about this film FASCINATES me.
The film starts off pretty standard with a promising revenge plot set up in the first 10 minutes, but seems to escalate faster than any film I've EVER SEEN. The film speeds on so quickly the pacing is basically nonexistent. Which results in the final act taking place the VERY SCENE AFTER the plot was established? This left me quite baffled, because only 20 minutes had past at this point, so I turned to my buddy Will besides me and…
HELL YEAH!🤘🏻
Jason Statham continues to save cinema and nobody thanks him!🏆
105 minutes of Statham killing phone scammers🔥☎️ & making ludicrous Bee Puns.🐝🍯 It’s an instant classic!😌
This feels like a fake movie that would be playing in the background of a real movie
The uninitiated may see this as simply another bee-grade action flick with cheap thrills and corny one-liners, but there are layers to this comb. This is a movie that begs society to bee all it can bee. It goes down sweet like honey, but with quite a sting. Beelieve the buzz: The Beekeeper will bee kicking some serious ass.
Why?
It bees like that sometimes.
"To Bee... or not to Bee?"
*Dramatic pause*
"To Bee."
*Statham kills twenty dudes*
Ah, yes. The perfect January theatrical experience.
Basically, a DTV action film slathered in mid-budget panache, taken deadly seriously and executed efficiently. Does it have every single character talk in Beekeeper metaphors? Yes. And I love it.
Like a modern-day DTV action film, the star's on-screen time is surprisingly slight (Was Statham busy?), but that means Mr. Bee is like the shark from JAWS, only showing up to munch on some baddies, while the rest of the time is padded out with the cops on his tail (Fine) and the villains trying to get him (A great Jeremy Irons). None of the action scenes are very…

Every scene with the annoying FBI buddy cop routine had me eager to press fast forward, but Josh Hutcherson's performance as a sleazy crypto nepo baby kept me genuinely engrossed. It's fun to watch Jason Statham climb up the ranks and battle different waves of swat units and paramilitary dudes. Average night out at the movies.
Absolutely insane unhinged movie. An unholy marriage between Suicide Squad, Law Abiding Citizen, and John Wick, with no sense of how those movies might logically blend together tonally or plot wise.
Loved it. I was cackling.
