The Beekeeper
Stream
Rent & Buy
One man's campaign for vengeance takes on national stakes after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as Beekeepers.
What critics thought
A deliberately old-school Statham vehicle that lands somewhere between serviceable and frustrating depending on your tolerance for stripped-down action cinema. Critics were broadly split: some found its unpretentious efficiency a modest pleasure, while others felt it kept teasing a wilder, trashier version of itself that never quite arrived. Supporting characters and non-action scenes drew consistent complaints for feeling rushed and underdeveloped.
“a solid, low-stakes, medium-reward new year's effort”
The Guardian
“It's a real shame that The Beekeeper isn't the righteous trash masterpiece that it keeps threatening to turn into.”
