'Beekeeper' Jason Statham sets out to expose corruption

English actor Jason Statham shows no signs of dialling back on his action-man image at the age of 56. The son of a dancer and a street seller, Statham studied martial arts and worked as a model before teaming up with director Guy Ritchie for breakthrough movie 'Lock Stock and Two Smkoing Barrels' (1998). Since then he's become renowned for depicting gritty, violent and streetwise characters, and has shown up in blockbusters such as the 'Fast & Furious' movies. Himself an accomplished sportsmen, he said in a 2013 interview with Vanity Fair that: "All of the stunt men—these are the unsung heroes. They really are. Nobody is giving them any credibility. They're risking their necks. And then you've got poncy actors pretending like they're doing [the stunts]." His new movie 'The Beekeeper' - due out in January 2024 - may sound like a quantum change for the on-screen tough guy, but it's not. As explained by MGM: "In 'The Beekeeper', one man’s brutal campaign for vengeance takes on national stakes after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and clandestine organization known as 'Beekeepers'. "Expose the corruption. Protect the hive." What do you think of the trailer? As evidenced by the comments so far, a lot of people can relate to cleaning house in what can seem like a never-ending wave of corruption at individual and universal level.
