... a sleek action thriller driven by Statham’s particular set of skills: a fierce directness of action, seemingly unstoppable momentum, the ability to deliver countless bee metaphors and puns without cracking a smile ...

It is an action thriller that starts off in a fast-paced manner, but whose plot, in its conventional scheme, travels through predictable areas that leave traces of the most absurd clichés. [Full review in Spanish]

It may not be(e) a game changer, but the base charms of The Beekeeper are pure honey.

Full Review | Jul 9, 2024

It’s a chunky thrill-a-minute slice of throwback action with the kind of one-liners you’d hear in action blockbusters released across the ‘80s or ‘90s.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 9, 2024

The Beekeeper isn’t vying for Best Picture Oscar awards, but definitely makes good on all it promises. Statham looking like one of the coolest dudes alive getting some payback against waves and waves of goons before taking down their obnoxious boss.

It’s not NOT like John Wick but with bees.

Full Review | May 29, 2024

It's not the most buzz-worthy action flick but Statham is still the bees’ knees in the action genre. He's fully aware his strength is not in acting but in performing killer action scenes.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | May 22, 2024

It's no John Wick (or Atomic Blonde, for that matter), but it's a future basic cable staple that is as silly as it is satisfying.

The plot becomes increasingly ridiculous, while Clay indiscriminately beats, maims and kills anyone who gets in his way – regardless of whether they’re on the right or wrong side of the law. (As if that should matter!)

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 4, 2024

The thought of Statham eviscerating computer scammers for 105 minutes sounds like a winning proposition, a Death Wish for the Bitcoin generation. Unfortunately, the more the story unfolds, the more convoluted it gets.

Statham is terrific. He knows the action genre, and he delivers the goods. The film satisfies as it excites. The villains kicked over an allegorical hornet’s nest. If you have the winter entertainment doldrums, here’s your moviegoing cure.

"The Beekeeper" is exactly what you expect: Statham’s a badass, his opponents are perpetually outmatched, and the supporting cast is made up of a selection of incredible talent who are essentially along for the ride.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 23, 2024

The Beekeeper is not a good movie. It’s not a good action movie. It’s not even a good Jason Statham action movie.

Full Review | Apr 7, 2024

Hutcherson's villain is easy to hate and is the perfect counter to Statham’s gravel voice action hero.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 3, 2024

Jason Statham stings his way up the political food chain in very stupid and very entertaining action thriller

Full Review | Original Score: 3 | Feb 28, 2024

It’s wildly fun in stretches, and being rough around the edges in a good Expendables movie way is more than forgivable.

Full Review | Feb 21, 2024

The Beekeeper is a notch above the average action movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2024

Delivering a strong “Go pollinate yourself” message, the over-the-top storyline is loads of fun as Statham parodies himself to protect the hive. It’s a fun, thrilling, and extremely satisfying ride.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 9, 2024

In The Beekeeper, Statham plays to his strengths. There are lots of fight scenes, a bit of growled dialogue and a series of extended moments wherein the Stathammer does what he does best.
