Basically a Red Band trailer and it shows a lot.
Statham is a busy guy. 3 movies out in about 6 months.

One of those trailers I stopped in the middle, since it seems to show the movie. Looks like one of the better better Statham vehicles.

Yeah, this looks fun. But I agree the trailer shows too much. It's not a new problem, but it seems to have gotten much worse recently.

I guess I wasn't paying close attention to the trailer. It was only on the 2nd watch that I realized that he is not a literal beekeeper getting revenge for his scammed elderly neighbor. It still looks ridiculous.

It’s a good trailer.
I'm curious. Does anyone really like these Statham movies? They must make economic sense. seems like they are more his movies than the directors.
I enjoyed The Transporter. And the two Crank movies.
Have any of them been unique?

Early Access IMAX screenings start Saturday at 7pm. I got a ticket with a $5 off T-Mobile Atom tickets coupon from last week.
Next Tuesday T-Mobile is offering $5 tickets through Atom for the official January 12th release date.
Looks pretty badass. Hopefully this will make up for the disaster that was Expen4bles.

Here is my screening. This is a pretty decent amount of seats sold for a non big IP movie in an IMAX equivalent auditorium.

Just got back from seeing it. It was a pretty packed auditorium.
The action and fight scenes were great. Statham beating the shit out of all those bad guys was great.
My biggest issue was some of the supporting actors. The acting and dialogue was pretty cringy. Emmy Raver-Lampman who played an FBI agent and Phylicia Rashad’s daughter was pretty terrible. Zero believability as a credible FBI agent. So miscast. Someone like Joy Bryant would have been a better choice in my opinion.
But I had a pretty good time otherwise. I’d probably give this a 7 out of 10 and maybe a generous B- But I think this is almost certain going to get a Rotten score next week.
My theater gave a big applause as the credits rolled.

Otherwise, if your a fan of Statham movies, you should be mostly pleased.

I already saw this last Saturday and the movie doesn't officially open until tonight. But, Ayer says in this interview he really wants to make a sequel.

My son and I just got back - he’s going back to college tomorrow so it was a last hurrah.
It’s just stupid fun with some great, inventive fight choreography and kill sequences. They lean HARD into the bee metaphors and take everything very seriously and it’s very fun to watch. Absolutely nothing is realistic and it gets downright preachy at times but we had a good time and they’ve definitely set up a part 2.
