Film Illiterate, wherein the proprietor records movies seen, and sporadic progress through assorted lists of the "best". Originally started after regretfully renting something forgettable for the third time. I've forgotten what, but never again! A tedious endeavour since 2005. Hello. 🙂
David Ayer has made some good movies in his time and the action in this bit of Jason Statham action nonsense is kinetic and exciting as usual, but good God the script. Kurt Wimmer has written some real turds, but this one is almost comically inept. Statham, it turns out, is formerly an operative for a secret agency known as the Beekeepers, and his violent revenge is described with increasingly strained parallels to bees. "Protect the hive."
It's a shame, because the basic plot is engaging and the characters colourful. It's just so incredibly stupid.
