I haven't read the book this was based on but this looks really dreadful. I read his latest book (Cloud Cuckoo Land) and if that's any indication, this will be pretty awful.

They may as well have called this The Oathkeeper. Pretty sadistic stuff.

I don't think you'll see Universal employing John Leguizamo again any time soon.

Really? Why? A little bird told me that the crew loved John and gave him a standing O after his last shot. Conversely, David Harbor was apparently a misanthrope.

Don't press play

Saw this trailer before tonight's London Film Festival screening of Saltburn, and while I'll see it just because of the two leads, I had to suppress a laugh at how it just seems to be the plot of the Beyond the Sea episode from the new Black Mirror season.

I get this funky high on the yellow sun.

I gotta say between Silent Night the other day and now The Beekeeper, please keep giving us big name directors making schlocky action movies. No franchises, no self serious crap, just dumb and stupid 90s style fun at the movies.

I mean this seems like pretty much the sort of film David Ayer typically makes right? I guess maybe they're usually less fun.

CGI blood splatter. Ugh.
Plus Woo not making a good film since '92 makes this an easy pass.

Face Off is great, with multiple memorable sequences including the air port chase, magnetic prison, and boat chases. This new trailer’s suv chase just looks like a huge step down.

Beekeeper looks like it’s bringing some entertaining sequences!

Yeah, feel like these movies always need to, like, justify why they have kung fu moves? I don't care. They can just be fed up motherfuckas exacting the audiences revenge. No need to justify it.

people can just have funny jobs and beat people up! we don't need to justify that The Grillmaster is great at violence because he was an ex navy seal (pussies), he hits people with grills! oh wow this math professor was part of a special government program where they hosed up his brain and now he is super dangerous. oh, so he is the unabomber??? why should i be impressed when it turns out the tv repairwoman i have been watching kill people in highly choreographed fights with coke bottles is also a secret agent? that's an occupation where the number one hazard is hearing crickets and thinking someone is frying your brain with soundwaves.

but no, the only ones who can affect real change in our society are those trained by the same forces that make people helpless. the point is the only effective tools is their own tools, and you just need to hope there is one good egg in the group who will care about you after you already committed suicide because of a phishing scam. sorry if you are poo poo out of luck because your buddy is just a normal beekeeper. gah!

Another reason why I like classic Jackie Chan. Many films where there is absolutely no reason given why he can go up against two dozen people out for his blood.
