I had to go see this because of the posts above.
I can only describe it as "crack cocaine cinema." I'm probably not any worse off for taking one hit, and man did it feel sooooo good.
It is hands down the dumbest Jason Statham movie of all time. But that's not really a fatal flaw (double entendre there)... He is just so damn good and charming and enjoyable to watch him do his 1980's Steven Segal shit! Although he is his usual intellectual super-spy/assassin, he kinda kills/maims and tortures a ton of innocent "shrapnel" characters. Those poor worker bees! Love the "call center" angle. Maybe the sequel will send him to Pakistan!
Did anyone else notice the "diversity" of the other bee-keepers? Trans/lesbo/fem chick and fagged-out Brit douche? The person I saw the movie with felt those two were too flamboyant to fit the quaint "bee-keeper" title (but filled the diversity quota with the black/female FBI chick).
I dumber for watching it-- but would watch it again if I had to choose between it and "Cat Person." Sure, CP is nuanced, controversial, cinema. But Beekeeper kicks ass and has morality and justice on his side!
