This is a $JASON_STATHAM_MOVIE and I absolutely love it1. It’s familiar, there’s no pretense, you’re a 13-year old, and it feels really nice spending your evening watching some evil-looking people get their (highly improbable) comeuppance from a single and very determined operator. It’s like huddling under a blanket with the air-conditioning on in the Middle Eastern heat in front of your family TV (a 21" Belson) and your Mum makes you greasy food2.
The Beekeeper is next, for days when I say “fuck it” and toss a frozen pizza into the oven after work ✨🍕✨
Just like that other mensch, Liam Neesons. Or that mensch Denzel Washingtons.↩︎
Like cubed potatoes fried in ghee and dusted with garam masala and chili powder, with a very generous and perfectly chilled glass of ayran.↩︎
