The first reviews of The Beekeeper are available

An excerpt from Variety The Beekeeper movie review Read: “The Beekeeper” is the best kind of bad movie, which is to say, it's the kind that puts entertainment before pretentiousness, embracing the laughs that are sure to accompany such an ultra-violent and unapologetically stupid premise.
