The Beekeeper

A pulpy revenge fantasy and works really well because the initial inciting incident, a nice old lady being scammed by a boiler-room full of cyber-thieves, is something everyone can relate to. Lots of “Oh, no. You pissed off the wrong guy…” dread, like John Wick. The rest of the plot is clunky and involves a lot of coincidences and hare-brained implausibilities. But Statham kills a bunch of bad guys and that makes it really enjoyable. There's no central relationship. He’s a one-man army with NO buddies, which is lacking. But still really fun.
