SPOILER alert:This article discusses plot twists in the new movie “The Beekeeper.”
Jason Statham movies typically don’t wrestle with current events, but a twist deep into his newest feature, the just-released “The Beekeeper,” has some fans thinking that Joe and Hunter Biden are the the inspiration for the villains.
At the end of the second act, it’s revealed that asshole tech CEO/nepo baby Derek Danforth (Josh Hutcherson) is the son of the president (Jemma Redgrave), and used her name to push his shady business operations forward. From there, it’s also mentioned that President Danforth wasn’t justly elected because of dirty money that was injected into the election.
If “Beekeeper” was released in another decade, audiences might not think much about the twist. But in an era of accusations of Hunter Biden profiting off of his father’s name, as well as Donald Trump’s false accusations of election fraud, some audiences are determined to find echoes of real life in the film’s final act.
Just saw an early screening of #TheBeekeeper
