Unite Data Group: briefly; this is one of the businesses controlled by Derek Danforth [Josh Hutchinson:] a individual that is high up in society thanks to his parents, that runs this internet banking scam. That eventually one day crosses the wrong person Adam Clay [Jason Statham:] he is a beekeeper a every day beekeeper, but he is also a retired beekeeper in the sense of this secret agency that basically redresses the of things, if you have one of these people coming for you; you are dead.

Generally speaking: the framework and pacing of this 105 minutes film is good; it does use one of those action film outlays that I haven't seen used for some time, but adapted/updated to incorporate sometimes it darker tone and if you are a fan of those one example action packed films starring Jean-Claude Van Damme from somewhere around the 1990's where it now and again we have this blend of action mixed with a bit of comedy; such as in this film [rough description;] we have our lead character Clay attaching this other character to this vehicle via this long strap, so when Clay puts this vehicle in drive and off the bridge this other person goes off connected to it and here is the funny part the fake body that they use to create this moment looks really fake and hearing his voice coming from it, I don't know if this was intentional or not, but let's just go with it.

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are solidly good versions of what they are meant to be; but now we have to talk about the two that really stood out; Jason Statham as Adam Clay; his whole being is; protect the hive and doing what is necessary, it is an interesting, well thought out and executed concept and then we have Jeremy Irons as Wallace Westwyld: he is an ex-Director of the CIA, but nowadays has the unfortunate duty of keeping an eye on Derek, making sure whenever he screws up fix the problem or problems and keep the Danforth family business going; Danforth Enterprises.

This film receives: 6/10, this film is good; as you can see/read this film has positives to it, especially if you are a fan of Jason Statham and/or Jeremy Irons.
