THE BEEKEEPER (Spoiler Review) - Bee-List Throwback Action

[@CollaredConsulting]

Sequel: He goes to Nigeria to get the scammer Prince that ripped him off and failed to send him his $37 million.

[@hardcutreviews]

Patiently waiting for the advance ticket sales for that one.

[@MrDman21]

Or he goes to India 😄

[@hardcutreviews]

He cleans out 4 million call centers.@@MrDman21

This feels like a much bigger channel than it appears to be. I really like it, though, and I expect it to blow up soon.

[@hardcutreviews]

Appreciate that, dude. Thanks for watching!

[@theplopthickens]

It's usually a call center in India. Just an office with a bunch of cubicles.

[@hardcutreviews]

Would have loved to seen that representation.

[@theplopthickens]

@@hardcutreviews yeah, no doubt. It's not gonna be as flashy but honest. You should look up channels that use hackers to screw over the call centers.

[@S0ldSH0RT]

I love Statham movies. They're so bad but good- real guilty pleasures. I can't wait to see this one!

[@whitworth5s248]

I don't know if I like the "regular guy turns out to have been a retired elite agent the entire time" trope that is getting a bit overused in action movies these days. In Taken and John Wick it was relatively fresh as a concept, but it was getting pretty tired by the time Nobody came out, and I found that movie suffered a bit from it. But a group of secret agents who call themselves Beekeepers, only for one to retire and become a literal beekeeper is so on the nose it's a little cringey to be honest.

[@hardcutreviews]

Yeah, Taken and Wick did these concepts really well and this is far from that. All it did was entertain us for a few hours without pissing us off. No new ground covered here.

[@bumpercarjoe6391]

Based on your recommendation I just watched it. And my only complaint is I wanted more of it! It was a legit kick ass movie. Like you said “everything the expendables wishes it was”. Lol. And Jeremy Irons was awesome! I’d watch a sequel to this. Or even a “prequel”. Something that shows how the beekeepers system actually works. It may be tuff to do a prequel with Staham, and it may be even tougher to figure out how to fit him in a sequel. But if they figured it out with John McLain and Die Hard I’m pretty sure they could come up with something for this.

[@hardcutreviews]

Yeah it did its job. Entertained us for a couple hours. If they do another one we’ll be there for it.

[@CRCal209]

I usually really like Statham movies but this one was rough. I enjoyed the action, of course, but the story was too big for what it was... and now there's no opportunity for it to be a series since it links to the VERY TOP of the food chain. Also, as an avid fan of Criminal Minds I was really bothered by the main character: The woman, her partner was fine. Her lack of professionalism, the on-the-case-despite-deeply-personal-connections violation, inconsistency in leadership and skill level (like, girl, you're an cybecrimes analyst, why are you blowing past the SWAT team in jeans like you Rambo?) It all bothered me. ALSO- what a missed opportunity to not call this movie Queen Slayer and make the president totally complicit. Too similar to current optical events maybe?

[@djs1244]

cant agree more with this review i liked it was good brainless old school action fun. i saw it with 3 other people and we all liked it and gave it from 6.5 to 7 ratings. keep up the great work guys

[@fernan2342]

You telling me the villain is just a greedy a**hole and has not tragic background? Impossible!

[@bloodrunsclear]

With the success of John Wick I think we’re in for more movies like this: fun dumb action. I’m for it :)

[@hardcutreviews]

Same. Wouldn’t mind more of this.

[@sunshinestate28]

This movie was freaking incredible and I loved it!! Definitely rewatching it in the future.

[@hardcutreviews]

Surprisingly fun. Looking forward to seeing it again.

[@OffTheCover]

You've convinced me! I'll give it a watch. Good job guys!

[@hardcutreviews]

If you enjoy fun mindless action like us, it’s not to be missed. 👍🏻

[@ajax1612]

I just assumed this was some crap throwaway movie as well, but glad it was decent, thanks for the review!

[@hardcutreviews]

Don’t except a deep plot, lol. But it was definitely fun and satisfying.

[@The_AndroidSentByCyberlife]

Found this film much more entertaining than I thought it'd be. Hilariously entertaining to be honest, seeing Statham tie a man to a truck and send it off a bridge into water to drown, or have him with clapping along with the scammers only to beat the living sh*t out of them straight after was just so hilariously ridiculous that I loved every second of it 😂 So glad you two could review this. Certainly not a groundbreaking film or anything. But if you just let yourself go with it then it's a fun watch. (Also I love "The Rock" poster in the background. Brilliant brilliant film)

[@hardcutreviews]

January is a tough month for movies but this one surprised. Just a decent fun time. And The Rock kicks ass.

[@Blue_Grass_Girl]

Don't drink a shot everytime they say beekeeper. It doessssss not end well, unlike the film which was such a blast.

[@thecollegiate100]

You guys are great seems like youtube demonetize you guys

[@hardcutreviews]

YT does not make it easy.

[@MrDman21]

KZbin hates free speech apparently 😆

[@gzz8551]

We are now at a point with revenge movies where an internet scammer in a call centers is the main villain. We went from war lords, gangsters, drug barons, evil dictators to THAT!? Wow. 😂 Just thinking of the carnage I could cause around the world if I were to engage with my Junk Email inbox!

[@hardcutreviews]

He’s going after that Nigerian prince in the sequel.

[@gzz8551]

@@hardcutreviews I hope not! That Prince is sending me $32,000,000 USD.

[@kaykutcher2103]

​@@gzz8551 What?? But he only promised me 31,000,000!

[@gocsa]

Come on, guys, the Crank movies are BRILLIANT.

[@hardcutreviews]

I definitely gave the Crank films their due in the closing of the review. Matt is still on the fence.

[@MrDman21]

I haven't seen this but it looks like a throwback to those action movies I grew up with. They showed The Mechanic 2 with Jason Statham the other night on TV. I've heard Josh Hutchinson is terrible as the villain. But this definitely should have come out instead of Expendables 4. 🐝🐝🐝🐝

[@hardcutreviews]

He’s like a Gen Z crypto trader. At no point did he ever feel like a threat, but he could have been worse.

[@wausjackbauer128]

Hey y'all. Hope you review "Anatomy of a Fall" I just watched it today, excellent film

[@hardcutreviews]

Will definitely check it out. I really wish we had the time to review every film we wanted to, haha. Right now we’re lucky if we get 3 a month out. Hopefully this will be a year of growth so we can devote way more time to the channel.

[@wausjackbauer128]

@@hardcutreviews yeah even if you don't review it and just watch it that's cool, it's refreshing to watch a good movie for a change in today's world lol

[@juliovictormanuelschaeffer8370]

Oh man, I thought it was going to be an adaptation of Worm😑. This film is good, though. Not perfect, but enjoyable and honest with what it is.

[@hardcutreviews]

That’s all you can ask for these days. Just a little fun.

[@P_O58]

The best kill is where he ties the lad to the pickup and drives it off the bridge

[@hardcutreviews]

Definitely. Great practical effects on that one.

[@Chadsolderbrotherbrad1111]

This movie looks like a chore to get through 😂

[@hardcutreviews]

Lol. That’s what we were expecting. Instead we had fun. Who knew?

[@donaldzehms1821]

The movie was funny and probably kinda real. Nice seeing a white guys back in movies

[@haitch2676]

The big final fight isn’t with a Scotsman, he’s South African

[@hardcutreviews]

Good call. No idea why I thought he was Scottish.

[@MrDman21]

At first I thought the girl playing the old lady's daughter was Madison Mcferrin, she's the type of weirdo who uses pronouns on their profile 😂

[@realjimmyd]

definitely a comment on diversity hires and the state of replacing strong men action heroes with brie larson clones

[@gailseatonhumbert]

The actor who plays the villain has a name you know? It might be more reasonable to use it than disrespect him so much. So Josh Hutcherson in case you didn't know how to look it up. BTW a version of the scam was played on Josh's great grandmother. So no film credit for Hutcherson in your review although you didn't do that for the other actors.

[@hardcutreviews]

Oh, his name is Josh? We had no idea. Thanks for educating us. Who should we issue the apology to? You seem to be on a first name basis with him. Could you tell him we're sorry?
