1 THE BEEKEEPER--Decidedly not a film about apiaists, Jason Statham's  latest starring vehicle--his fifth in the past year alone--is about an  ex CIA operative (Statham's Adam Clay) who enacts scorched earth  vengeance on weaselly miscreants behind an elaborate online phishing  operation targeting senior citizens. (The title stems from the name of  Kay's former covert paramilitary outfit.) Better than any January Jason  Statham movie has a right to be, it was directed by masculinist auteur  David ("Fury," "End of Watch") Ayer who knows his way around  turbo-charged action setpieces. Costarring the always welcome Jeremy  Irons and, as the designated Big Bad techie, Josh Hutcherson.
