Among the theatrical movies in January, there is an action movie, that isJason StathamStarring"The Beekeeper".。Statham, who has been "running six", has been very active in the past two years and does not accept old age. It was released last yearThe Expendables: The Final Chapter, he is also the one with the most action scenes among many kung fu stars.
The origin of the story of The Beekeeper is the landlady of the landladyParkerThe money was looted by a fraud gang, and the tenant who was cared for by herAdam Clay(Jason Statham) is determined to avenge Parker. The setting is reminiscentDenzel WashingtonplayedMcCallThe scene in "Avenger 3" is also to get back his hard-earned pension for an old man who was hacked.
The operation scene of the fraud gang also has to remind people of last year's domestic topic film"All or Nothing".。However, this film is not about how people are deceived, or it triggers a series of chase scenes in which the protagonist Adam is a lone hero. For Statham, he still continues to use the familiar superman style of play, invincible all the way, and no one is invincible.
And this way of causing trouble, in fact, also inherited the creative ideas of early Westerns and Japanese samurai films, for a thing that is difficult to solve in the eyes of others, or something that touches the protagonist's principle of doing things, so that this person must subvert the crime, so that it is bloody all the way.
Adam's method this time is very direct and extreme, running directly to the mansion of the criminal syndicate, pouring gasoline and igniting the fire, until he is forced out step by step to the real ** behind the scenes. And on the villain's side, the young boyDrake DanversbyThe Hunger GamesThe male protagonistJosh HutchersonPlay. In this film, he doesn't care about the fraud syndicate under his name, because his mother is **.
There is a role like a military advisor and a housekeeper at Danfoss, who is 76 years old this yearJeremy IronsplayedWeston Wallace。The old man's look is still the same, but such a character is still overkill, thinking of those classic characters on the screen back then, it is really unbearable to look back on the past.
Watching this movie is the same as watching the Korean movie that came out a few days ago"Wilderness".It's the same feeling, it's nothing more than watching how the leading actor Ma Dongxi beats people up close. "The Beekeeper" is also about how Statham is invincible with his agility and unbeatability. Of course, the general routine is to arrange a difficult character at the end, and then turn defeat into victory when it is almost in danger.
In "The Beekeeper", in addition to arranging a ruthless character at the end, in the one-on-one confrontation in the middle of the film, a crazy female killer with a pink moxican head was also arranged to fight Statham, whose fate was not only beaten, but also burned to death. And the crazy scene of strafing with machine guns just provides more joy to the film.
Such a film can be broadcast on streaming **, and there is no need to make a big move to release it in theaters. And the routine is very obvious, from one incident to the incident, and then the protagonist hero can't help but go his own way, killing countless enemies along the way.
And in the face of law and justice, the lone hero will only choose the latter, and act in his own way, leaving the law enforcers in a dilemma. After all, she is the daughter of the deceased Parker.
