Thanks for your opinion! I will get the first one and checked it out. Did you watch the second yet?
Beekeeper cracked me up so fricken much. To bee or not to bee is hilarious.
I have not yet seen the sequel, but I might if I can find a good matinee deal or something. This makes me feel ancient, but I remember when a ticket was like $5 if the showtime was before 5 pm. Sadly, that seems to have gone the way of the $5 footling.
Beekeeper is one of the best surprises I've had in a long time. I was looking for something new, but sorta familiar, to watch and gave it a shot on streaming, pretty much sight unseen. I thought it was just Statham.trying to cut in on that John Wick money. Which, it sorta was, but man, that script just kept out doing itself with every expansion in scope / stakes. By the time they "reveal" who the kid's mom is, I was so on board their ride.
I wish Statham had brought something to the role other than stoic badass. Maybe it would have been too much at that point, but I kinda wanted an actor who could match the script in brazen buffoonery. Maybe then they could have cut the FBI agents' scenes and focused more on him. I practically snoozed through that whole B plot.
