Jason Statham is back doing what he does best in “The Beekeeper,” a white-knuckle new action thriller from director David Ayer. Ayer is known for his work on films like “SuiciÔ€e Squad,” “Fury,” and the outstanding “End of Watch.” In this film, Statham plays the role of Adam Clay, a man seeking vengeĐ°nce after his friend falls victim to a phishing scĐ°m and commits suiciÔ€e.
As the story unfolds, Clay, who is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and secretive organization known as the “Beekeepers,” discovers that his friend’s deĐ°th is just a small part of a larger cĐľnspiracy. He embarks on a one-man rĐ°mpĐ°ge, taking down bad guys, breĐ°king skulls, removing fingers, and demolishing buildings along the way.
“The Beekeeper” features a star-studded cast including Jeremy Irons, Josh Hutcherson, Minnie Driver, and Phylicia Rashad. Statham is in his element, delivering his dialogue just above a whisper and letting his fists do most of the talking as he dispatches his foes in increasingly inventive ways.
