EXPOSE THE CORRUPTION. PROTECT THE HIVE.

When a friend of Adam Clay’s (Jason Statham) falls victim to a phishing scam that bankrupts her, and she commits suicide, he goes after those who are responsible.

There’s something satisfying in watching an action hero hunt down lowlifes who target the elderly. This is in many ways a reliable, well-paced Statham banger, even if the star (playing a former agent called a ”beekeeper”) is impossible to hurt or kill.

The film refuses to take its real-life issue seriously though, letting the plot behind the scam reach ridiculous heights.
