Don't have an issue with that. It's just not a well written show. But fortunately it doesn't take itself too seriously so I still enjoyed watching it.
A Working Man on the other hand is abysmally shit. I thought the writing couldn't get any worse than The Beekeeper but oh boy was I wrong. Not sure how you can fuck up a Jason Statham movie so bad that it becomes physically painful to watch it.
Off tangent but my mom enjoys those Hallmark movies or chick books with women solving mysteries even though they have non police jobs. But it occurred to me action movies have become that for men. Instead of a female baker solving mystery, dudes get a beekeeper killing cartel dudes.
If only The Beekeeper was about a beekeeper killing cartel dudes and not a completely fucking retarded plot about stereotypical startup tech bros doing the Indian callcenter scam in the middle of the US which finances some stupid ass CIA bullshit. I honestly couldn't finish the movie because it took itself way too serious for being unbelievably retarded. When that female beekeeper character turned up I gave up.
But yes, you are absolutely correct. Action movies like The Transporter, John Wick, Taken, The Equalizer etc. are that for men. And they're great. As long as they're not mind numbingly retarded like The Beekeeper or A Working Man. Even a guy like Jason Statham can't save those burning piles of shit.
I disagree. He's definitely a typecast actor but there are plenty of decent non Brit mobster movies he has starred in. Wrath of Man, Transporter, Crank and The Mechanic come to mind.
