The Beekeeper - 蜂刑者

The Beekeeper (蜂刑者) is an 2024 film. The movie stars Jason Statham as The Beekeeper. The supporting cast include Emmy Raver-Lampman, Josh Hutcherson, Phylicia Rashad, and Jeremy Irons. But the movie is really about Jason Statham kicking @$$.



Jason Statham plays Adam, a beekeeper in quiet part of middle America. Jason is hired to pollenate and rents out the barn of a retired school teacher Eloise Parker, played by Phylicia Rashad. They have a friendly relationship and keep tabs on each other. When Eloise is scammed out of her retirement funds, she takes drastic measure and commits suicide. Adam is the first to discover this and goes after the scammers. The law enforcement puts Adam as the primary suspect. Will Adam be able to get the scammers before he's taken in?

If you are a Jason Statham fan. This is right up your ally. You get a Jason that’s skilled in taking out people. In this movie, The Beekeeprs are a special kind of bad @$$ and can do much. Jason is the ultimate special kind of person. I hope they make a sequel.

As they both make their way to finding her, Black superman, played by Idris Elba, shows up to mess things up. Hobbs and Shaw must now team up to get to the bottom of this.



Just like the other Fast and Furious (FF) movies, there are lots of cars and lots of explosions. Since the 6th FF movie, the storyline has shifted towards to the superhero aspects. Enter Black Superman.

I caught this in the local theatre and was entertained.

The Fate of the Furious - 玩命關頭8

We start out with a race in Cuba where Dom comes out a winner and makes a friend. While on a raid, he's tempted away by Cipher to do her bidding. The group luckily doesn't die and is super confused. Why would Dom turn on his friend. Think about it for a bit, you have your answer. The crew continues on with their mission with Dom, but time and time again, Dom messes them up. How do you defeat Dom? You don't. Dom comes around and saves the day. Some driving involved, but lots of airtime too.

This is the eighth time out. None of the folks here have been in everyone. Because with #2 and #3, no one wanted to be around. But when Justin Lin put the cool back in, all the folks wanted back with #4. But its now running long in the tooth and even the box office is responding now. Can there be too much of a good thing? Can Hobbs And Shaw's spinoff do well. Shaw still killed Han, never forget. But the international market trumps the box office of the US, so they'll keep pumping them out. Vin has announce that they'll make it up to a final 10th film. Not including the spin offs.

It's been on HBO non-stop recently so I've caught parts of the movie, but there wasn't a time that I stopped to finish to the end.

Fast and Furious 6 - 玩命關頭6 - Fast Six - Furious 6

Dom reassembles the crew and Hobbs promises to wipe their records if they succeed. When they meet the first time, Shaw's team hands it to Dom's group and get away. But not before Dom comes face to face with Letty. But Letty does not remember Dom and escapes with Shaw's group. Dom's pursuit of Letty leads to encounters with Shaws group. Everything leads to a final showdown. Since the timeline events of Tokyo Drift merge up with the present, we know some tragic things will happen.



I've seen this movie on Blu-ray and on multiple re-runs on cable during the days leading up to the release of Fast and Furious 7. I feel like I know it like I do Fast Five. The movie was entertaining. You see the characters try to look as cool as they can. You see a lot of comedy. You see a lot of cars. Lots of action. This is one of those movies that you can start up at anytime and watch a few moments and not have to skip a beat.

Furious 7 - Furious Seven - 玩命關頭7

Furious 7 (玩命關頭7) is an 2015 film. The movie stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, and Jason Statham. The supporting cast include Kurt Russell, Elsa Pataky, Nathalie Emmanuel, Djimon Hounsou, Tony Jaa, and Ronda Rousey. The movie has cameo appearances from Sung Kang, Gal Gadot, Bow Wow, Nathalie Kelley, Noel Gugliemi, Luke Evans, Levy Tran, and Iggy Azalea. Malaysian Chinese film director James Wan takes over for the departing Justin Lin.



Furious 7 takes off where Fast & Furious 6 left off. The crew back in LA living life. Deckard Shaw is up to no good as he starts his hunt for those that crippled his little brother Owen Shaw. Deckard starts with Hobbs to find the rest of the crew. When Deckard puts Hobbs in the hospital, he goes after Han and the Toretto house. From that point on, the action goes strong and doesn't stop, no need to explain more.

Furious 7 goes for the jugular and doesn't make any apologies. It's another good entry into the franchise. Fast cars, lots of action, the car racing scene on display. Along the way, a common theme emerges, "Family". This merry band of misfits are a family and it shows in how they take care of each other.

Don't expect the same humor as Lin's FF entries. James Wan puts his stamp on this installment with suspenseful actions scenes that make you go "whoa!" Do it, I dare you to watch it and not smile and even LOL!

This was also a sad good bye to the late Paul Walker. *SPOILER* Entering the film, I thought they would kill him off, but they didn't. Instead, they made a touching tribute to Paul with a video montage. RIP Paul Walker.

Safe - 火線反擊

Safe (火線反擊) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Jason Statham. The supporting cast include Catherine Chan, Chris Sarandon, James Hong, Reggie Lee, and Anson Mount. The movie is based New York City.

Jason Statham plays Luke Wright, an disgraced ex-cop that works as a trash guy. His wife is killed by the russian mafia and they vow to make his life a living hell. The prove this point by killing a fellow tenant at an shelter. On the metro one day thinking of suicide, he runs in to Mei, played by Chan. Luke spends the rest of the movie saving her and taking out all the baddies in NYC.

Classic Jason Statham movie. Mystery man with a unspeakable past with extremely voilent skill sets that can set the city ablaze. This movie is no different. The stereotypes of this movie go overboard with every race they decide to cover. With the Chinatown triad. They do it all ching chong out. As expected by Hollywood.

The Expendables 2 - 浴血任務2

The Expendables 2 (浴血任務2) is an 2012 film. The movie stars Sylvester Stallone and Jason Statham. The rest of the ensemble cast include Jet Li, Yu Nan, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Liam Hemsworth, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Wow, what a cast. Did will enough at the global box office that a second sequel is in the works.



The movie is much like the first one. Sly plays the leader and has to recover something from a far away land that has no stable government. Lead by JCVD, this rouge terrorist group is looking to do something bad with a black market weapon. Enter Bruce Willis asking Sly for a favor. Off they go to this country to get this thing. Insert all the craziness of all these cast members.



This movie was entertaining. Fun to see all these old skool action heroes try to make it look good. Some did, some didn't. Arnold is passed his prime. I just watched the Running Man the other day. Classic 1980s movie. Not classic in his cameo in Expendables installment.



Jet Li only see action in the first 5-10 minutes of the film. After that, he's not even on the team. They left the Asian representation to Yu Nan, the government liaison. For some reason, they were trying to play Yu and Sly in some "love" relationship. Didn't work and it was just awkward. Please don't do that again.



If you liked the first one and are as old or older than me, you may enjoy this. Lots of fighting, shooting, and explosions.

Killer Elite - 特種精英

Killer Elite (特種精英) is an 2011 film starring Jason Statham. The supporting cast include Clive Owen, Robert De Niro, Yvonne Strahovski, and Dominic Purcell. The movie was based on a book with the concept of The Feather Men.

Jason Statham and Robert De Niro are hired mercenaries in 1980. After a deal goes bad where a child is killed, he decides to leave the trade and heads to the open fields of Australia. However, his pass still catches up with him when De Niro is captures and used as bait to get him to do another job. Off he goes to do this job and save his friend. The job takes him to mostly European cites and the last part of his job leads him to London. In London, he is met by the capable Clive Owen whom is protecting the men he's after. Will Statham finish the job or get stopped by Owen?

The movie wasn't a complete bore but I felt little for the players involved. Their survival in this spy thriller was assumed to be zero. There were times that I thought, oh, maybe they'll make me care for the folks. But that never happens and I just keep watching the action as it unfold with no emotional attachment. And thus, no real feeling when the movie is done. Will not be viewing again.

The Mechanic - 極速秒殺

The Mechanic (極速秒殺) is a 2011 film. The movie stars Jason Statham and Ben Foster. Supporting cast include Tony Goldwyn, Donald Sutherland, and Mini Anden. The term "mechanic" is also slang for "hitman" or assassin. This is a remake of the 1972 cult classic by Charles Bronson.

Jason Statham plays Bishop, a isolated mechanic for a secret organization. His handler Harry, played by Donald Sutherland, is framed for a botched job in South American and the organization asks Bishop to eliminate him. Ben Foster plays Steve, Harry's son. Steve has no direction in life and ask Bishop to train him to be an mechanic. The two form a bond as the movie progress and they start going on jobs. However, Steve has a knack to stir up trouble and they are now targets themselves. Bishop decides to take down the organization when they come after him. Steve comes along for the ride.

The movie was actually really entertaining. I really enjoyed the concept and story behind Bishop's life. Although Bishop's past isn't mentioned or explored, you see his current life and how he operates. You get a sense that hitman are very isolated and have to look behind their shoulders at all times. Just when you thought he was a machine, enter a bromance story. I vaguely remember the 1972 original. I remember watching a lot of Charles Bronson during the 80s when they rerun all the 70s action films. This movie has sparked my interest to find the 1972 in the near future.

The Expendables - 浴血任務

The Expendables (浴血任務) is a 2010 film. The film stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Terry Crews, and Mickey Rourke. The supporting cast includes Eric Roberts, Gisele Itié, Gary Daniels, Bruce Willis, Charisma Carpenter, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. I didn't catch this in the theaters but on DVD and had been looking forward to it since the trailer was released.



The Expendables are a group of mercenaries lead by Sylvester Stallone's Barney Ross. They start out rescuing hostages highjacked by Somali pirates. When back in the states you see a little bit of there lives and they pick up a job to take out the general running a small island in the Gulf of Mexico. It is there that the guys get a heart and try to make a difference. You guessed it, all bloody hell breaks loose when the action starts.

Very nice movie. A throwback if there ever was any. The only missing pieces where JCVD, Steven Seagal, and Bruce Leeroy. But it was a very good film. Charisma Carpenter sighting too! Watch it if you're a action film freak. You won't be disappointed.

Transporter - 玩命快遞

Transporter (玩命快遞) is a 2002 film starring Jason Statham and Hsu Chi directed by Corey Yuen.

The movie is about Jason. Jason plays a transporter. Someone who delivers stuff on his terms. Jason is ex-military and has skillz. Lots of skillz to pay the billz.

When he delivers a clients package. The receiver makes him an offer that's against his rules. Like he says himself, once you break the rules, things go bad. He breaks the rules and gets involved with Hsu Chi. He than takes on his new client who wants him dead. Than there's the police. Hijinx and lots and lots of action. Hsu Chi and Jason get it on too.

In the end, it was a guilty pleasure. Not a film to watch again, but enjoyable the first time around.
