Jason Statham is back in action as a ruthless killer in the upcoming thriller Beekeeper.
The film follows “one man’s brutal revenge spree that takes on national interest after he is revealed to be a former operative of a powerful and secretive organization known as ‘The Beekeepers,'” according to a press release.
The trailer for Red Ribbon – released on Wednesday – shows Statham in full action mode as Mr. Clay, kicking and gunning his way through enemy territory alongside a cast including Josh Hutcherson, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Minnie Driver, Bobby Naderi, Phylicia Rashad and Jeremy Irons.
The first scene in the trailer is pretty calm — Mr. Clay has just created a garden of buzzing beehives for his neighbor (Rashad), who tells him, “This place was crabgrass and weeds, and you brought it back to life.”
The tone changes when Hutcherson’s character is revealed to be running a fraudulent organization that conned Mr. Clay’s neighbor out of her savings, who then tragically took her own life.
Mr. Clay approaches an office building guarded by two men in suits with guns and asks, “Do you know what they’re doing here? Fraud of the weakest in our society.”

“Buddy, I’m counting to three,” says one of them, to which Statham’s character replies, “One, two, three. There, I did it for you,” before slamming the men into the concrete and launching the trailer into a world of gunfire, helicopters and backflips in the backdrop of Crime and Justice.
