This movie was entertaining.
Pros: Jason Statham is the sole reason why you need to see this film. Josh Hutcherson was so good being an egotistical rich boy. There’s so many puns about bees that were funny to listen to. The action was insane and this film is dependent on what kind of film you are expecting to watch.
Cons: I didn’t hear a lot of the dialogue that well. Our main villains are very cartoonish. I didn’t like the other plot line involving the FBI & they don’t explain why certain things are happening in the film properly.
The Casts:
- Jason Statham as Adam Clay
- Emmy Raver-Lampman as FBI Agent Verona Parker
- Josh Hutcherson as Derek Danforth
- Jeremy Irons as Wallace Westwyld
- Jemma Redgrave as President Danforth
- Minnie Driver as Director Howard
- Phylicia Rashad as Eloise Parker
- Bobby Naderi as Agent Matt Wiley
- Enzo Cilenti as Rico Anzalone

- David Witts as Mickey Garnett
I highly recommend watching this film where this comes to sky cinema later this year.
Rating: 3 out of 5 Stars
