Critics Consensus

Cheerfully undemanding and enjoyably retrograde, The Beekeeper proves that when it comes to dispensing action-thriller justice, Statham hasn't lost his sting.

Audience Says

Fast-paced and full of action, The Beekeeper delivers everything Jason Statham fans will be looking for.

Chicago Reader

Clay dispatches his adversaries with characteristic Statham aplomb, which, apologies to Nicole Kidman, is why we come to this place.

Randy Myers

San Jose Mercury News

Much of it is illogical, preposterous over-the-top ridiculous, which is what makes it such a guilty pleasure and one of Statham’s and Ayer’s best films.

Rated: 3/4

Matthew Lickona

San Diego Reader

Off we go. Like, way off, leaving even the notion of reality behind like a burned-out barn full of busted honey jars. In its place, a hero who makes James Bond look inconspicuous and John Wick look vincible.

Rated: 0/5

EscribiendoCine

Like the perspective of the protagonist who maintains certain traditional ideals, the film outlines a forceful criticism of the models of pyramid schemes and of the young generations. Once again Statham's star text legitimizes him as a hero of the action

Rated: 8/10

... 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 ...

Cinefilia

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]

Brian

l liked that it was about a real world issue of scamming elderly people and not some world conquering villain. l also liked the more realistic action, at least for an action movie. It was nice not having a character being an invulnerable superhero and actually thinking and utilizing traps and stealth to overcome overwhelming odds.
