As fun as Statham can be, "from the writer of unnecessary remakes and the director of David Ayers movies" just sounds like a headache in movie form. But "January as hell!" is a missed opportunity for a tagline. I enjoyed this trailer whenever it came up in the last month, but every time they said the beekeepers stepped in when things got out of hand I just kept asking, "Then what are they waiting for?!" and knew that alone would take me out of the movie.
Was hoping for better from CLARENCE because I love Stanfield and like HARDER THEY FALL, MacAvoy, (and Cumberbatch) quite a bit.
Had one fun thought about the Beekeeper plot itself that I will keep to myself to hide even the most modest of spoilers, but wanted to note that the theater for this, while being one of the small sized screens in the Regalverse, was over 70% full for this showing, indicating that a classic Statham-focused big-screen feature was the getaway some of us were looking for this weekend.
I saw it at a promotional screening with press seating, and folks seemed very satisfied with what they saw. As disappointed as I was that it couldn't sustain the fun of that first reel or so, I can acknowledge that it's tight and delivers the goods.
"Even a former head of the CIA (Jeremy Irons) shutters at the name."
Typo...or does he pull the shutters of his house dramatically closed upon hearing it?
Sigh. Fixed.
Sigh. Was hoping for the latter
There ain't no beekeeper and there never was.
**BEEKEEPER CAFE**
YES. THIS. Your comment glides as smoothly as a cloud!

I was referring to Cumberbatch, who's in the opening credits and the beginning of the film but the fullness of his role isn't revealed until later.
Ah, cool! This feels like a "wait for streaming" but looks like there will be some bright spots.
“January As Hell.” Thanks for introducing such a great phrase, Scott!
To paraphrase Eddie Izzard: I like my women like I like my action thrillers: COVERED IN BEEEEES!
Turned out to be a shocking lack of bees in the movie.
Only cos he himself pointed it out on the Deakins podcast this week as pronounced "yellow between two Os", it's David Oyelowo.
That's entirely too many vowels.
