Overview
One man's 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.
Does this movie have its problems? Sure. The fight scenes are ridiculous, even for this genre. The dialog is often mediocre. The “current” beekeeper is absurd. But…. the movie is a lot of fun (a gentler John Wick?). My only complaint is that I thought it would be odd to have members of the American military and secret service be on the wrong end of his work. I suppose the answer to that is that an anti-hero often isn’t on the ride side of things.
