Moviegoers, get ready to see Jason Statham’s new film, “The Beekeeper,” which opens this week.

The film, which was directed by the well-known action virtuoso David Ayer (Suicide Squad, Fury), centers on Adam Clay (played by Statham), a beekeeper in rural Massachusetts who chooses a quiet life.

But then things go south when retired schoolteacher Eloise Parker loses more than $2 million to a phishing fraud, which ultimately results in her untimely death by suicide. Her renter Clay searches for justice and teams up with the Beekeepers to find the con artists. This starts a complicated series of events that include FBI agent Verona Parker, enigmatic technology executive Derek Danforth, and a confrontation that takes place at the Nine Points Center. It also reveals connections to other government agencies and raises the stakes because Clay is pursuing both Danforth and the US president.

Conflicts arise between the FBI, ex-special forces, and the Beekeepers as Clay steps up his pursuit of justice. The main attraction is the Nine Points Building, where Clay enters and confronts Danforth. Wallace Westwyld employs mercenaries at the same time as he is getting annoyed with Clay’s escapes, which adds another level of interest to this suspenseful drama.

Emmy Raver-Lampman takes on the role of Agent Verona Parker, hot on Clay’s trail. Josh Hutcherson portrays a tech mastermind caught in the crossfire.

“The Beekeeper” transcends the typical action flick, emerging as a pulse-pounding revenge thriller woven with themes of loyalty, loss, and the weight of a violent past. Jason Statham is expected to deliver a performance charged with raw emotion as he grapples with personal demons and fights for redemption.

The movie will hit local cinemas this week, 26 January 2024.
