The Beekeeper

"Enjoyably absurd."

"Jason Statham needs a decent action movie."

"There is no anxiety in this increasingly stressful world that cannot be soothed by watching Jason Statham kick someone in the throat."

"(An) unusually kooky, funny-terrible conspiracy thriller."

"Revels in its own ludicrousness."

"Take a swig of mead every time Statham vows to protect the hive... and you’ll have a fine time."

"It does everything that an action movie needs to do and does it in witty, unexpected ways."

"It's a real shame that The Beekeeper isn't the righteous trash masterpiece that it keeps threatening to turn into."

"The Beekeeper is exactly what it appears to be. Nothing more, nothing less."

"Statham is as gruffly convincing as he usually is... but the action scenes are horribly inconsistent."

"There’s a grubby, late-night appeal to (Ayer's) dialled-up trash aesthetic and The Beekeeper mostly works because of it."

"It’s nuts. It’s funny."

"Doesn’t even have the sense to make use of Statham’s often underutilised comedic talents."

"Nonsensical if reliably entertaining."
