Ultraviolenta, Beekeeper: Death Sentencecon Jason Statham without smiling in any shot, it is the type of action movie that does not recognize rules, or that breaks the norms of credibility.
Statham is a beekeeper (hence the English title), but Beekeeper is also what they called undercover special agents dedicated to killing. That is, beekeepers had the task of protecting the hive (society) from corruption. And he, who was surely a ruthless assassin of the United States government, retired. He now says his name is Adam Clay, and rents part of a barn to an old lady in the country, for his new job: producing honey.
But it doesn’t mean that Mrs. Eloise suffers a cyber fraud attack, a phishing attack that takes away all her money, plus the two million dollars that she had in her care at a Children’s Foundation.
So one assumes that Clay is going to avenge the old lady, and yes, that will happen, but for an even greater reason: the lady shot herself, just the night she had invited Clay to her house for dinner, who arrives with his little bottle of honey.
Eloise’s daughter (Emmy Raver-Lampman, from The Umbrella Academy) is an FBI agent, and Clay, whom he discovers in the house with a knife, is the main suspect.
We all know it wasn’t like that, and everyone in the movie will know it later. What follows is a plot, so to speak, in which violence is rampant in all its scenes, hand-to-hand combat is lethal (for those who face Adam, of course) and the bad guys have terrible aim when they want to finish it off. with the.
You were not born, but in the ’70s an actor named Charles Bronson starred in The anonymous avenger. Statham is an avenger, but he leaves the anonymity for others. He appears in the office from which they had called and deceived the woman with two cans of gasoline. And yes, he blows up the place, after beating up the security guards.
The film has an interesting twist more than averaging the screening. Behind the organization is the technological pirate Derek Danforth (Josh Hutcherson, who is best remembered in the saga of The Hunger Gamesbecause here he is a bunch of tics), and it seems that his mother is influential.
Son of…
We are not going to reveal the identity or what Derek’s mother does, but we can say that a confident Jeremy Ironslike a former CIA chief, is dedicated to “taking care” of Derek.
Verona, the FBI agent, is faced with a dilemma that Clay reinforces: follow the laws or dispense justice. The blurred line between taking justice into one’s own hands or abiding by the rules; That is the question.
Various conspiracies, but above all, a lot of pineapple, stabbing, hanging and amputation of fingers is what it offers Beekeeperby David Ayer (suicide squad -2016-), which surely, if it does well this weekend of its international premiere, will have its sequel.
