Jason Statham is a beekeeper who rents some barn space for his hives from a kindly old lady he has grown close to. When his landlady falls for a phishing scam and loses all her money, she commits suicide. Her daughter (conveniently an attractive FBI agent) first thinks Jason killed her but soon exonerates him and promises to find and bring to justice the heartless scammers.

But this being a Jason Statham movie, it’s a pretty good bet that he won’t have the patience for a lengthy official investigation and decides to go after the bad guys himself. You see, he’s a retired member of a special dark-ops military organization (eye-rollingly called the “Beekeepers”) and possesses a special set of skills that could well be useful in a cinematic vengeful crusade such as this.

Yes, I know you’ve seen all this before, often in Statham’s own films, but his devoted fans don’t seem to tire of it. It would be fair to say that this is yet another iteration of his one movie. But I’d much rather watch Statham bring the fury and go through the action motions than, say, Stallone or Seagal. (105 min)
