Ultraviolent, Beekeeper: death sentencewith Jason Statham without smiling in any frame, it’s the kind of action film that recognizes no rules or breaks norms of believability.
Statham is a beekeeper (hence the English title), but Beekeeper is also what they called undercover special agents bent on killing. That is, beekeepers had the task of protecting the hive (society) from corruption. And he, who was surely a ruthless assassin of the United States government, withdrew. Now he says his name is Adam Clay, and he rents part of a barn to an old country lady for his new job: producing honey.
But that doesn’t mean that Mrs. Eloise suffers a computer fraud attack, a phishing attack that takes away all her money, plus the two million dollars she had in custody at a children’s foundation.
It is therefore assumed that Clay wants to avenge the old lady, and yes, this will happen, but for an even bigger reason: the lady shot herself, the very evening she invited Clay to her house for dinner, who arrives with the his little bottle of honey.
Eloise’s Daughter (Emmy Raver-Lampman, da The Umbrella Academy) is an FBI agent and Clay, who he discovers in the house with a knife, is the main suspect.
We all know that wasn’t the case, and everyone in the movie will know it later. What follows is a plot, so to speak, in which violence is rampant throughout its scenes, hand-to-hand combat is lethal (for those facing Adam, of course) and the bad guys have terrible aim when they want to finish. with the.
You weren’t born, but in the 70s an actor named Charles Bronson was acting The anonymous avenger. Statham is an avenger, but he leaves anonymity to others. He shows up at the office from which they had called and tricked the woman with two cans of petrol. And yes, he blows up the place, after beating up the security guards.
The film has an interesting twist more than the average screening. Behind the organization is the technological pirate Derek Danforth (Josh Hutcherson, best remembered in the The Hunger Gamesbecause he has a lot of tics here), and it seems like his mother is influential.
Son of…
We won’t reveal the identity or what Derek’s mother does, but we can say for sure Jeremy Ironsas a former CIA chief, he dedicates himself to “taking care” of Derek.
Verona, the FBI agent, faces a dilemma that Clay reinforces: follow the laws or administer justice. The blurred line between taking justice into your own hands or respecting the rules; This is the question.
Various plots, but above all lots of pineapples, stabbings, hangings and finger amputations is what it offers Beekeeperby David Ayer (suicide squad -2016-), which will certainly have its sequel, if it goes well at its international premiere this weekend.
