Beekeeper

Director: David Ayer

 

Cast :  Jason Statham · Adam Clay ; Emmy Raver-Lampman · Agent Verona Parker ; Bobby Naderi · Agent Matt Wiley ; Josh Hutcherson · Derek Danforth ; Jeremy Irons.

Genre: Action

 

The movie starts with a pretty emotional scene where an elderly woman shoots herself over losing her entire savings caused by an internet scam. She not only loses her own money but also the money that she possesses from the charity for the education of needy children. I like action movies that involve gun fighting, martial arts, insane stunts, fire explosions, and blasts. This movie contains all the elements aforementioned but it also has the sense of true revenge which justifies the inevitable rampage throughout the movie.

 

 

Look in The Man with the Bees Anyone who sees this movie won't leave the theater with more questions than answers because Statham portrays Adam Clay, a character with so many secrets. At the beginning of the movie, Clay is seen leading a modest life as a beekeeper on a stunning estate that belongs to the retiring Eloise Parker (Phylicia Rashad in Creed).

 

 

But then things go wrong when Eloise steps into a trap set by an internet scammer and discovers that all of her bank accounts have been stolen, along with $2.5 million from a charity she manages. Eloise kills herself because she can't handle what she did, and Adam soon meets Verona Parker (Emmy Raver-Lampman, Blacklight), her FBI agent daughter, who first holds Adam responsible for her mother's demise.

 

 

But after that small misunderstanding is resolved, Adam's new secret comes to light. He is a former member of The Beekeepers, a covert CIA unit whose sole responsibility is to guard what they refer to as The Hive. Driven by rage at an unfair system, Adam declares war on the operation and company owned by the gullible Derek Danforth (Josh Hutcherson, The Hunger Games), who, despite not being the smartest operator, has a lot of powerful people working for him, including Wallace Westwyld, the former chief of the CIA (Jeremy Irons, The Lion King).

 

Adam Clay, played by Jason Statham, has a striking resemblance to John Wick. He is leading a regular, tranquil existence up till someone kills the person who held great significance for him, upsetting him. This causes him to murder everyone in his path. Jason's vicious behavior of kicking criminals in the ass is also reminiscent of John Wicks's technique. Additionally, the method used to "Terminate Adam Clay" after placing a bounty on his head. These are a few quotes that lend credence to the theory that the film was heavily influenced by John Wick. Having said that, the story's concept is distinct and has its own flavor.

 

I've always liked action films starring Jason Statham. You are obligated to see each of his upcoming action films, such as "Transporter," "Expendables," "Mechanics," "Wrath of Man," and "Fast and Furious," at least once.
