I just got back from seeing this movie. And it was everything I was hoping to see in a JS movie. I've been a fan of this actor even before he knew how to throw a proper punch. I'm talking way back to his Snatch and Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels days.
He just has charisma that shines and he knows how to deliver his lines with style and snark. Even if the movie isn't that good, he makes it watchable and entertaining even if the storyline fails on all levels.
I'm happy to say that this movie was enjoyable from beginning to end. So much great action. No shaky cam used and abused, this man knows what he's doing and the director knows how to film fight scenes. It was so much fun watching him take down predators. Hell, I was hoping he handled his business with even more people.
This movie had that John Wick deal where when you hear what he is or the name he goes by, you're like "Oh shit! We're fucked." I LOVE those kinds of movies. Basically, storylines where you piss off the wrong ppl. It's the same premise as any revenge tale. That's why I also enjoy shows like Taxi Driver and Leverage, Burn Notice, etc.
Payback is a bitch.
And Jason just gets sexier to me and he's so badass, he's making 56 look so good. I need to see him and Scott Akins face off again. (first time was Expendables 2) But I want them to be the MCs so that fight scene, or maybe even more than one, will be intense.
There was one character who just had to be annoying. The cop out there getting in the way for the laaaaawww. If you don't sit yo ass down somewhere and let this man do what you can't.
FINAL VERDICT: INNOCENT LIKE EVERY PERSON CALLED BY A SCAMMER. Movie, I just don't know what to say. You have put a smile on my face and pleased my court. I might have to see your ass again, movie. Who am I kidding, I haven't seen anything this fun to watch since the last JW movie. Bailiff, release this movie but make sure you don't piss it off.
Well, from your review of The Bee-Keeper, starring Jason Statham, my all time favorite actor since the beginning of time lol. I never miss any of his movies and I watch reruns as well. He is all man, sexy, good looking and has such a presence on the big screen, I will definitely be watching this movie. If, that is, I have enough patience tino wait to see it in a theater!! Lol. Or, maybe wait for it to show by Netflix, Prime Video, Max or Starz, that way I can watch it as many times I want. Lol.
Loved your review Nicholas. I read all of your reviews, they really get to the innards of a movie.
