“The Beekeeper” (** out of four) was middling action vehicle about the title beekeeper (Jason Statham) who in turns out is (yawn) a former international agent who seeks revenge on a multimillion dollar scam operation headed by a vindictive czar (Jeremy Irons). Statham has a beard here but that’s about it for originality; both he and Irons seem to be going through the motions in roles they’ve played dozens of times before. Features enough action to make it watchable but lacking enough sting and supple intrigue to make it worthwhile.
