Jason Statham in "Beekeeper": Successor to "High-Speed Pursuit"?
2024-01-13
Early reviews for Jason Statham's latest film, "Beekeeper," are out on Douban. Let's delve into it.
Praisers note the well-crafted plot, tight and gripping. Statham maintains his tough-guy image, delivering fierce action in line with the 'fight fire with fire' philosophy, meeting the expectations for a thrilling film and providing great stress relief.
However, critics point out the film's grandiose setup with relatively thin content. While there are action scenes, they lack the excitement expected. The story is criticized as foolish rather than straightforward, with violence but lacking aesthetics. It's deemed mediocre with no distinctive style, suitable only for audiences who love watching Jason Statham beating up various people.
In the movie, Jason Statham plays Clay, leading a peaceful life beekeeping in the countryside. When his landlord, Grandma Park (played by Felicia Rashad), is on the brink of collapse due to an online scam, Clay decides to take matters into his own hands and seeks revenge against the fraud group. During the investigation, he exposes the intricate web of interests behind the fraudsters. Facing attacks from a mad agent, powerful conglomerates, and the FBI, he gets entangled with the secretive security organization "Beekeeper." Clay's true identity gradually surfaces. Can he single-handedly confront the overwhelming evil? A new "frenzy" is on the horizon.
